Genes affected

LITAF (HGNC:16841): (lipopolysaccharide induced TNF factor) Lipopolysaccharide is a potent stimulator of monocytes and macrophages, causing secretion of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and other inflammatory mediators. This gene encodes lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF-alpha factor, which is a DNA-binding protein and can mediate the TNF-alpha expression by direct binding to the promoter region of the TNF-alpha gene. The transcription of this gene is induced by tumor suppressor p53 and has been implicated in the p53-induced apoptotic pathway. Mutations in this gene cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1C (CMT1C) and may be involved in the carcinogenesis of extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD). Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a domain LITAF (size 84) in uniprot entity LITAF_HUMAN there are 9 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_001136472.2
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.27681923).

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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 24844793). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 208245). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces alanine with threonine at codon 129 of the LITAF protein (p.Ala129Thr). The alanine residue is weakly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between alanine and threonine. -
