Genes affected
CIITA (HGNC:7067): (class II major histocompatibility complex transactivator) This gene encodes a protein with an acidic transcriptional activation domain, 4 LRRs (leucine-rich repeats) and a GTP binding domain. The protein is located in the nucleus and acts as a positive regulator of class II major histocompatibility complex gene transcription, and is referred to as the "master control factor" for the expression of these genes. The protein also binds GTP and uses GTP binding to facilitate its own transport into the nucleus. Once in the nucleus it does not bind DNA but rather uses an intrinsic acetyltransferase (AT) activity to act in a coactivator-like fashion. Mutations in this gene have been associated with bare lymphocyte syndrome type II (also known as hereditary MHC class II deficiency or HLA class II-deficient combined immunodeficiency), increased susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and possibly myocardial infarction. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2013]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points.

PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.049229354).
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.000115 (168/1460940) while in subpopulation AMR AF= 0.000471 (21/44618). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000315. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 74 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 31. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

MHC class II deficiency Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeSep 27, 2022This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 15 of the CIITA protein (p.Glu15Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs572170388, gnomAD 0.04%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CIITA-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 571550). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
