Genes affected

PLCG2 (HGNC:9066): (phospholipase C gamma 2) The protein encoded by this gene is a transmembrane signaling enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate to 1D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG) using calcium as a cofactor. IP3 and DAG are second messenger molecules important for transmitting signals from growth factor receptors and immune system receptors across the cell membrane. Mutations in this gene have been found in autoinflammation, antibody deficiency, and immune dysregulation syndrome and familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome 3. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, NOT destroyed by nmd, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.037651397 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.9, offset of 4, new splice context is: cagGTgcat. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

The PLCG2 c.337+2T>C variant (rs866001196), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature but is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 569439). This variant is observed in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.0008% (2/249128 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. This is an intronic variant in a highly conserved nucleotide, and computational analyses (Alamut Visual Plus v.1.5.1) predict that this variant impacts splicing by destroying the nearby canonical donor splice site. However, there is currently limited information to determine whether loss-of-function variants in PLCG2 cause disease. Given limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. -

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 3 of the PLCG2 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), however the current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in PLCG2 cause disease. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PLCG2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 569439). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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. -
