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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 22, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg782Serfs*12) in the UNC13D gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in UNC13D are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 14622600). This variant is present in population databases (rs764196809, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (PMID: 16278825, 18492689, 19484379, 20823128, 21248318, 26342526). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 420155). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
not provided Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGenetic Services Laboratory, University of ChicagoOct 06, 2021DNA sequence analysis of the UNC13D gene demonstrated a four base pair deletion in exon 24, c.2346_2349del. This pathogenic sequence change results in an amino acid frameshift and creates a premature stop codon 12 amino acids downstream of the change, p.Arg782Serfs*12. This pathogenic sequence change is predicted to result in an abnormal transcript, which may be degraded, or may lead to the production of a truncated UNC13D protein with potentially abnormal function. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.02%in the non-Finnish European subpopulation (dbSNP rs764196809). This pathogenic sequence change has previously been described in an individuals with UNC13D-related hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (PMID: 16278825, 32542393, 20823128, 17993578, 30295794). Collectively these evidences suggest that, the c.2346_2349del change is likely pathogenic, however functional studies have not been performed to prove this conclusively. -

Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 15, 2024Variant summary: UNC13D c.2346_2349delGGAG (p.Arg782SerfsX12) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00011 in 250908 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in UNC13D causing Familial Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (0.00011 vs 0.0027), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.2346_2349delGGAG has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Familial Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (e.g. Zur Stadt_2006). The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 16278825). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 420155). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
