Genes affected
CD46 (HGNC:6953): (CD46 molecule) The protein encoded by this gene is a type I membrane protein and is a regulatory part of the complement system. The encoded protein has cofactor activity for inactivation of complement components C3b and C4b by serum factor I, which protects the host cell from damage by complement. In addition, the encoded protein can act as a receptor for the Edmonston strain of measles virus, human herpesvirus-6, and type IV pili of pathogenic Neisseria. Finally, the protein encoded by this gene may be involved in the fusion of the spermatozoa with the oocyte during fertilization. Mutations at this locus have been associated with susceptibility to hemolytic uremic syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.

CD46 c.286+2T>C is a canonical splice variant located in the donor splice region in intron 2. It is predicted to affect mRNA splicing, leading to a deleterious effect on the CD46 protein. This variant has been observed in at least one proband affected with atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome (PMID:26559391). It is absent or not present at a significant frequency in gnomAD. In conclusion, we classify CD46 c.286+2T>C as a pathogenic variant.
