Genes affected

UNC13D (HGNC:23147): (unc-13 homolog D) This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the UNC13 family, containing similar domain structure as other family members but lacking an N-terminal phorbol ester-binding C1 domain present in other Munc13 proteins. The protein appears to play a role in vesicle maturation during exocytosis and is involved in regulation of cytolytic granules secretion. Mutations in this gene are associated with familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis type 3, a genetically heterogeneous, rare autosomal recessive disorder. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-75835646-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-75835646-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 533098.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Neuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGM	-	The splice site c.1727+1G>A variant has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The c.1727+1G>A variant is novel (not in any individuals) in 1000 Genomes and has an allele frequency of 0.0008% in gnomAD database. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Likely Pathogenic. Loss of function variants have been previously reported to be disease causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. No significant variant in UNC13D gene has been observed in the spouse. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 20, 2024	This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 19 of the UNC13D gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in UNC13D are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 14622600). This variant is present in population databases (rs754882266, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with UNC13D-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 533098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
