Genes affected

IFIH1 (HGNC:18873): (interferon induced with helicase C domain 1) IFIH1 encodes MDA5 which is an intracellular sensor of viral RNA that triggers the innate immune response. Sensing RNA length and secondary structure, MDA5 binds dsRNA oligonucleotides with a modified DExD/H-box helicase core and a C-terminal domain, thus leading to a proinflammatory response that includes interferons. It has been shown that Coronaviruses (CoVs) as well as various other virus families, are capable of evading the MDA5-dependent interferon response, thus impeding the activation of the innate immune response to infection. MDA5 has also been shown to play an important role in enhancing natural killer cell function in malaria infection. In addition to its protective role in antiviral responses, MDA5 has been implicated in autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases such as type 1 diabetes, systemic lupus erythematosus, and Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a domain Helicase C-terminal (size 182) in uniprot entity IFIH1_HUMAN there are 6 pathogenic changes around while only 2 benign (75%) in NM_022168.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-162276832-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-162276832-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 137621.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr2-162276832-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (Invitae) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt IFIH1 function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 137621). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with IFIH1-related conditions (PMID: 24686847, 30219631). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 720 of the IFIH1 protein (p.Arg720Gln). -
