Genes affected
RNASEH2B (HGNC:25671): (ribonuclease H2 subunit B) RNase H2 is composed of a single catalytic subunit (A) and two non-catalytic subunits (B and C) and specifically degrades the RNA of RNA:DNA hybrids. The protein encoded by this gene is the non-catalytic B subunit of RNase H2, which is thought to play a role in DNA replication. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Defects in this gene are a cause of Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome type 2 (AGS2). [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]

Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome 2 Pathogenic:31
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submittercurationSIB Swiss Institute of BioinformaticsMay 31, 2018This variant is interpreted as a Likely Pathogenic, for Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome 2, in Autosomal Recessive manner. The following ACMG Tag(s) were applied: PM3 => For recessive disorders, detected in trans with a pathogenic variant (PMID:16845400). PS3-Moderate => PS3 downgraded in strength to Moderate (PMID:25274781). PS4-Moderate => Recurrent mutation observed in multiple unrelated patients. (PMID:16845400,17846997,20131292,26846091,28762473). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingClinical Genomics Laboratory, Washington University in St. LouisNov 08, 2023The RNASEH2B c.529G>A (p.Ala177Thr) variant has been reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous state in many individuals affected with AGS and related disorders (Beysen D et al., PMID: 33967934; Crow YJ et al., PMID: 16845400; Lambe J et al., PMID: 31920009; Pizzi S et al., PMID: 25274781; Rice G et al., PMID: 17846997; Videira G et al., PMID: 32258229). In at least three families, affected individuals who were homozygous for this variant showed marked intrafamilial and interfamilial phenotypic variability (Videira G et al., PMID: 32258229). This variant has been reported in the ClinVar database as a germline pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant in by several submitters. The highest population minor allele frequency in the population database genome aggregation database (v.2.1.1) is 0.2% in the European (non-Finnish) population which is compatible with carrier status for AGS and consistent with this variant being the most commonly identified causative variant (Rice G et al., PMID: 17846997). While computational predictors are uncertain as to the impact of this variant on the RNASEH2B protein, functional studies have shown a modest alteration of enzymatic activity and homozygous knock-in mice recapitulate the interferon-stimulated gene signature observed in human patients with AGS (Chon H et al., PMID: 19015152; Mackenzie KJ et al., PMID: 26903602; Perrino FW et al., PMID: 19034401; Pizzi S et al., PMID: 25274781). Based on available information and the ACMG/AMP guidelines for variant interpretation (Richards S et al., PMID: 25741868), this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testing;provider interpretationGeisinger Autism and Developmental Medicine Institute, Geisinger Health SystemMar 17, 2017This variant was identified in a 5 year old female with profound intellectual disability, arching, irritability, stereotypy, sleep problems, axial hypotonia, lower extremity hypertonia, optic nerve hypoplasia, feeding problems, plagiocephaly, slender fingers, and slender big toe. A brain MRI at age 3 months showed some thinning of falx cerebri. This variant has been reported previously in the literature and ClinVar as pathogenic. A second RNASEH2B variant was not identified, adequate sequence coverage was verified and deletion/duplication analysis was also normal. Additional genetic testing, including chromosomal microarray and mitochondrial DNA sequencing and deletion analysis, have not yielded a diagnosis. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 31, 2024This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 177 of the RNASEH2B protein (p.Ala177Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs75184679, gnomAD 0.2%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Aicardi-Goutières syndrome, and unspecified neurological disorders (PMID: 16845400, 17846997, 18754903, 19694776, 20131292, 25243380, 25343331, 25604658, 26182405, 26846091). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1262). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on RNASEH2B protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects RNASEH2B function (PMID: 19015152, 19034401, 26903602). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingClinical Genomics Laboratory, Stanford MedicineDec 05, 2019The p.Ala177Thr variant in the RNASEH2B gene has been previously reported in >20 unrelated individuals with Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (Garau et al., 2019). All individuals were homozygous or compound heterozygous. This variant has also been identified in 290/129,040 European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). Well-established in vivo and in vitro functional studies of the p.Ala177Thr variant strongly suggest a deleterious effect to the protein that is sufficient to be disease-causing (Mackenzie et al., 2016; Pizzi et al., 2014). These data were assessed using the ACMG/AMP variant interpretation guidelines. In summary, there is sufficient evidence to classify the p.Ala177Thr variant as pathogenic for autosomal recessive Aicardi-Goutières syndrome based on the information above.

Lurie Children's Hospital of ChicagoApr 16, 2021RNASEH2B NM_024570.3 exon 7 p.Ala177Thr (c.529G>A):This variant has been reported in the literature in numerous individuals with Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome (AGS) in the compound heterozygous and homozygous state and is reported to be the most common pathogenic variant associated with this condition (Selected publications: Crow 2006 PMID:16845400, Al-Mutairi 2018 PMID:29239743, Issa 2020 PMID:32404165, Videira 2020 PMID:32258229). This variant is present in 0.2% (40/15278) of Latino alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/13-50945445-G-A?dataset=gnomad_r3). Please note, disease causing variants may be present in control databases at low frequencies, reflective of the general population, carrier status, and/or variable expressivity. This variant is present in ClinVar, with several labs classifying this variant as Pathogenic or Likely Pathogenic (Variation ID:1262). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools for this variant are unclear. Functional studies, including a knock-in mouse model predict that this variant will impact the protein and result in downstream instability (Lim 2015 PMID:26182405, Pizzi 2015 PMID:25274781, Mackenzie 2016 PMID:26903602). However, these studies may not accurately represent in vivo biological function and at least one study suggests that the ribonuclease H activities from this variant were comparable to WT (Perrino 2009 PMID:19034401). In summary, this variant is classified as pathogenic based on the data above. -

The p.(Ala177Thr) was detected in trans with a pathogenic variant (PMID: 16845400; 17846997; 28762473) - PM3. The variant co-segregated with disease in multiple affected family members (PMID: 28762473) - PP1. Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product - PP3. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 09, 2023The RNASEH2B c.529G>A (p.Ala177Thr) missense variant results in the substitution of alanine at amino acid position 177 with threonine. Across a selection of the available literature, this variant has been reported in at least 22 individuals in a homozygous state and at least 12 individuals in a compound heterozygous state, including a sibling pair (PMID: 25604658; PMID: 29239743; PMID: 31130681; PMID: 30826161; PMID: 18754903). The highest frequency of this allele in the Genome Aggregation Database is 0.002618 in the Latino/Admixed American population (version 3.1.2). This frequency is consistent with the fact that it is the mostly commonly identified variant in individuals with Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome (PMID: 25243380; PMID: 31130681). Structural and functional studies, including in patient fibroblasts and mouse embryonic fibroblasts from an orthologous knock-in model, have demonstrated that the p.Ala177Thr substitution reduces RNase H2 subunit expression, disrupts the interaction interface of RNASEH2B with RNASEH2C, impairs complex stability, and reduces cellular RNase H2 activity (PMID: 26903602; PMID: 21177858; PMID: 21177854). Homozygous knock-in mice also recapitulate the interferon-stimulated gene signature observed in human patients with Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome. Based on the available evidence, the c.529G>A (p.Ala177Thr) variant is classified as pathogenic for Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome. -

Another >50 individuals were heterozygou s for this variant, though it is unclear if they were compound heterozygous for another variant in this gene or not. Although a second variant was not identifie d in a large number of individuals, the allele frequency in cases is statistical ly significantly increased compared to the general population (168/446 from lite rature vs 128/66494 ExAC, p value 0.0001 (Chi-square with Yates correction), sug gesting a causative role. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variat ion ID#1262) as pathogenic by multiple laboratories. In vitro functional studies provide conflicting data ( Lim 2015 and Pizzi 2015). Homozygous mouse models de monstrate phenotypes similar to Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome (Mackenzie 2016). Thi s variant has been identified in 0.19% (128/66494) of European chromosomes by th e Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs75 184679). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its freq uency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. In summ ary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical si gnificance, the p.Ala177Thr variant is likely pathogenic for Aicardi-Goutieres s yndrome in an autosomal recessive manner based upon segregation studies, animal models, functional evidence and its occurrence in patients with this disease. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMay 31, 2022Variant summary: RNASEH2B c.529G>A (p.Ala177Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Ribonuclease H2 subunit B, wHTH domain (IPR019024) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0014 in 251300 control chromosomes. c.529G>A has been widely reported in the literature as homozygous and compound heterozygous genotypes in multiple individuals affected with Aicardi Goutieres Syndrome (example, Crow_2006, Beysen_2021). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 28, 2022The c.529G>A (p.A177T) alteration is located in exon 7 (coding exon 7) of the RNASEH2B gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 529, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 177 to be replaced by a threonine (T). Based on data from gnomAD, the A allele has an overall frequency of 0.14% (386/282704) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.22% (290/129040) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This variant has been identified in multiple homozygous individuals with Aicardi-Gouti&egrave;res Syndrome (Rice, 2007; Crow, 2015; Videira, 2020; Beysen, 2021). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. The in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -
RNASEH2B-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesAug 23, 2024The RNASEH2B c.529G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala177Thr. This is the most common causative variant in the RNASEH2B gene. The c.529G>A variant has been observed in over twenty unrelated families to be causative for Aicardi-Goutiéres syndrome and in two families with uncomplicated spastic paraplegia (Crow et al. 2006. PubMed ID: 16845400; Crow et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25243380; Rice et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17846997). Functional studies have shown that this variant destabilizes the RNase H2 protein complex (Pizzi et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25274781). In summary, we classify this variant as pathogenic. -
