Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PM1_Strong PS3_Supporting PM6 PP4 PM2_Supporting PS4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000206.3(IL2RG):c.676C>T (p.Arg226Cys) missense variant resides within a CpG dinucleotide region, cDNA 676-677 encoding amino acid R226, of IL2RG that is defined as a mutational hotspot (PMID:7668284; PM1_Strong). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). The male (0.5pt) patient of PMID:14966353 has a T-B+NK- lymphocyte subset profile (0.5pt) [CD3: 2.5%; CD19: 95.4%; CD16/CD56: 0.5%] which is specific for SCID due to gamma chain deficiency (1pt; PP4). In a second case, the R226C variant arose de novo as a somatic mutation early in embryogenesis in the mother of the patient, 1 pt, PM6_Moderate (PMID:23683512).At least eight additional male X-SCID patients have been reported (PMIDs: 9058718, 11129345, 22936741, 7668284) with this hemizygous variant (total 4.5pt; PS4). PMID:7632950 Examined the mutant 7 chain distribution by confocal microscopy in transiently transfected COS-7 cells, comparing it with the wild-type 7 chain distribution. The mutant 7 chain could not be detected by an antihuman IL-2 receptor 7 chain monoclonal antibody, TUGh4, on the cell surface of the transfected COS-7 cells. This result was in sharp contrast to that obtained with the wild-type γ chain, which was clearly stained by TUGh4 on the transfected cells. PS3_Supporting is met.In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for X-linked T-B+ severe combined immunodeficiency due to gamma chain deficiency based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen SCID VCEP. Criteria applied: PS4, PM1_Strong, PM6_Moderate, PM2_Supporting, PS3_Supporting, and PP4. (VCEP specifications version 1).

Genes affected

IL2RG (HGNC:6010): (interleukin 2 receptor subunit gamma) The protein encoded by this gene is an important signaling component of many interleukin receptors, including those of interleukin -2, -4, -7 and -21, and is thus referred to as the common gamma chain. Mutations in this gene cause X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (XSCID), as well as X-linked combined immunodeficiency (XCID), a less severe immunodeficiency disorder.

X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	Counsyl	Mar 12, 2018	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Feb 16, 2023	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 expected to disrupt IL2RG protein function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 225195). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 226 of the IL2RG protein (p.Arg226Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with SCID (PMID: 7668284, 9058718, 14966353, 22039266, 23683512). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. -

The c.676C>T, p.Arg226Cys has previously been reported in the literature as pathogenic (PMID: 7668284, 23683512) and by clinical laboratories in ClinVar as associated with X-linked SCID. Missense variants at the same codon (R226H) have also been identified in patients with SCID (PMID: 7668284). Functional characterization of the variant indicate that the p.Arg226Cys substitution (referred to as p.Arg204Cys in the literature) results in the lack of cell surface expression of the IL2 receptor gamma chain (PMID: 7632950). There are no reports of the variant in the population allele frequency database, gnomAD, thus the variant is presumed rare. The variant results in a non-conservative amino acid change at a conserved residue, and in silico protein models predict a damaging effect on protein function. Based on the combined evidence, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
