Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect: reduced Munc13-4 protein stability (Hori et al., 2017); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 28848550, 36706356, 33746956, 27896523, 27123661) -
Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis Pathogenic:1
Variant summary: UNC13D c.1240C>T (p.Arg414Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250764 control chromosomes. c.1240C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Familial Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (example, Gokce_2012, Bienemann_2016, Gray_2017, Hori_2017, Shibata_2018, Shabrish_2021). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in substantially decreased munc13-4 expression in platelets, alloantigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) line and a CTL line immortalized by Herpesvirus saimiri derived from FHL3 patients. This assay has been reported as a reliable tool for FHL3 screening (Shibata_2018, Hori_2017). Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. One laboratory classified the variant as likely pathogenic, and one laboratory classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis 3 Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 414 of the UNC13D protein (p.Arg414Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs750811263, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with atypical hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis-like phenotypes (PMID: 23560006, 27123661, 27896523, 28848550, 33746956). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 533094). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt UNC13D protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Studies have shown that this missense change alters UNC13D gene expression (PMID: 29549174). 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. -
