Genes affected

IL7R (HGNC:6024): (interleukin 7 receptor) The protein encoded by this gene is a receptor for interleukin 7 (IL7). The function of this receptor requires the interleukin 2 receptor, gamma chain (IL2RG), which is a common gamma chain shared by the receptors of various cytokines, including interleukins 2, 4, 7, 9, and 15. This protein has been shown to play a critical role in V(D)J recombination during lymphocyte development. Defects in this gene may be associated with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 8.9, offset of -22, new splice context is: tttatttgtttcattaacAGctg. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.

The IL7R c.83-2A>G variant occurs in a canonical splice site (acceptor) and is therefore predicted to disrupt or distort the normal gene product. It has been reported in a compound heterozygous state in one individual with severe combined immune deficiency (Felgentreff et al. 2011). Control data are unavailable for this variant, and it is not found in the 1000 Genomes Project, the Exome Sequencing Project, or the Exome Aggregation Consortium despite being found in a region with good sequencing coverage. The variant is thus presumed to be rare. Based on the limited evidence and the potential impact of splice acceptor variants, the c.83-2A>G variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance but suspicious for pathogenicity for severe combined immune deficiency. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
