Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points: 0P and 5B. BP4BS3

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.749G>A variant in RUNX1 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of arginine by histidine at amino acid 250 (p.R250H). A luciferase reporter assaying in U937 cells showed that this variant has normal transcriptional activity, and an EMSA assay using COS7 cells showed that this variant has normal DNA-binding and β-subunit interaction with normal nuclear localization in NIH3T3 cells, indicating that this variant does not impact protein function (PMID:23817177) (BS3). The computational predictor, REVEL, gives a score of 0.488, which is below the threshold of 0.50, evidence that suggests no impact on RUNX1 function (BP4). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely benign for hereditary thrombocytopenia and hematologic cancer predisposition syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Myeloid Malignancy VCEP: BS3 and BP4.

Genes affected
RUNX1 (HGNC:10471): (RUNX family transcription factor 1) Core binding factor (CBF) is a heterodimeric transcription factor that binds to the core element of many enhancers and promoters. The protein encoded by this gene represents the alpha subunit of CBF and is thought to be involved in the development of normal hematopoiesis. Chromosomal translocations involving this gene are well-documented and have been associated with several types of leukemia. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Hereditary thrombocytopenia and hematological cancer predisposition syndrome associated with RUNX1 Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 01, 2024This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 250 of the RUNX1 protein (p.Arg250His). This variant is present in population databases (rs771614642, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (PMID: 34166225). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 239055). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt RUNX1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect RUNX1 function (PMID: 34166225). 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. -

Acute myeloid leukemia Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingJohns Hopkins Genomics, Johns Hopkins UniversityAug 17, 2020This RUNX1 variant (rs771614642) is rare (<0.1%) in a large population dataset (gnomAD: 11/281252 total alleles; 0.004%; no homozygotes) and has not been reported in the literature, to our knowledge. RUNX1 c.749G>A has been reported in ClinVar. Of two bioinformatics tools queried, one predicts that the substitution would be damaging, while the other predicts that it would be tolerated. Due to insufficient evidence, we consider its clinical significance uncertain at this time. -

RUNX1-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesFeb 09, 2023The RUNX1 c.749G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg250His. This variant, also described as p.Arg223His (R223H) in an alternative transcript, has been reported as a germline variant in two individuals with pediatric B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and in a 12-year-old patient with thrombocytopenia and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who had refractory cytopenia in childhood (Table 1, Li Y et al 2021. PubMed ID: 34166225; Figure 2, Decker M et al 2022. PubMed ID: 35026845). This variant was also reported as an incidental finding in an individual with Larsen syndrome who did not have thrombocytopenia or abnormal whole blood cell counts (Figure 2, Decker M et al 2022. PubMed ID: 35026845). In vitro functional studies suggest that DNA binding, β-subunit interaction, subcellular localization, and transcriptional activity for this variant are similar to control (Table 1, Koh CP et al 2013. PubMed ID: 23817177; Figure 2, Li Y et al 2021. PubMed ID: 34166225; Figure 1, Decker M et al 2022. PubMed ID: 35026845). This variant is reported in 0.0070% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/21-36206763-C-T) and is interpreted as uncertain in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/239055/?new_evidence=true). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJul 09, 2023Published functional studies demonstrate no damaging effect: no significant impact on transactivation activity, DNA binding function, beta-subunit interaction, or subcellular localization (Koh et al., 2013; Li et al., 2021); Identified in the germline of individuals with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Li et al., 2021); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Also known as R223H; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23817177, 34166225) -
Hereditary thrombocytopenia and hematologic cancer predisposition syndrome Benign:1

A luciferase reporter assaying in U937 cells showed that this variant has normal transcriptional activity, and an EMSA assay using COS7 cells showed that this variant has normal DNA-binding and β-subunit interaction with normal nuclear localization in NIH3T3 cells, indicating that this variant does not impact protein function (PMID: 23817177) (BS3). The computational predictor, REVEL, gives a score of 0.488, which is below the threshold of 0.50, evidence that suggests no impact on RUNX1 function (BP4). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely benign for hereditary thrombocytopenia and hematologic cancer predisposition syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Myeloid Malignancy VCEP: BS3 and BP4. -
