Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points: 2P and 2B. PM5 BP4_Moderate

The NM_022168.4(IFIH1):c.1166G>A(p.Gly389Glu) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000226 in 1,459,734 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G389R) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Nov 25, 2023	This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 389 of the IFIH1 protein (p.Gly389Glu). This variant is present in population databases (rs765985079, gnomAD 0.002%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with IFIH1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 291088). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (Invitae) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt IFIH1 function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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. -

Aug 30, 2022

The IFIH1 c.1166G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly389Glu. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.0016% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/2-163139016-C-T). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
