Genes affected

NHEJ1 (HGNC:25737): (non-homologous end joining factor 1) Double-strand breaks in DNA result from genotoxic stresses and are among the most damaging of DNA lesions. This gene encodes a DNA repair factor essential for the nonhomologous end-joining pathway, which preferentially mediates repair of double-stranded breaks. Mutations in this gene cause different kinds of severe combined immunodeficiency disorders. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ENSG00000280537 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.988 CDS is truncated, and there are 2 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-219158351-C-CA is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-219158351-C-CA is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 985.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Cernunnos-XLF deficiency Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Mar 12, 2021	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with NHEJ1 deficiency related disease (PMID: 16439205). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 985). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu5Glyfs*43) in the NHEJ1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in NHEJ1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16439204, 20597108). -

Variant summary: NHEJ1 c.11dupT (p.Glu5GlyfsX43) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant was absent in 251314 control chromosomes. c.11dupT has been reported in the literature in a homozygous individual affected with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (Ahnesorg_2006). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in total loss of protein expression in cells from the individual (Ahnesorg_2006). The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 16439205). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 985). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
