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]

The UNC13D c.2695C>T (p.Arg899Ter) variant is a stop-gained variant predicted to result in premature termination of the protein. The p.Arg899Ter variant has been reported in two studies in which it is found in four individuals with familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis including three in a homozygous state and one in a compound heterozygous state (Elstak et al. 2012; Nijman et al. 2014). The variant was absent from 100 control individuals and is reported at a frequency of 0.00009 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium in a single allele only in a region of good sequence coverage so the variant is presumed to be rare. Functional studies demonstrated that the p.Arg899Ter variant results in a truncated protein which lacks the C-terminal C2 domain. This truncated protein is misfolded, showing reduced stability and increased turnover compared to wild type. Complementation assays showed a failure of the truncated protein to rescue degranulation (Elstak et al. 2012). Based on the evidence, the p.Arg899Ter variant is classified as pathogenic for familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg899*) 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 (rs766657895, gnomAD 0.006%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (PMID: 21755595). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 325247). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
