Genes affected

RAG2 (HGNC:9832): (recombination activating 2) This gene encodes a protein that is involved in the initiation of V(D)J recombination during B and T cell development. This protein forms a complex with the product of the adjacent recombination activating gene 1, and this complex can form double-strand breaks by cleaving DNA at conserved recombination signal sequences. The recombination activating gene 1 component is thought to contain most of the catalytic activity, while the N-terminal of the recombination activating gene 2 component is thought to form a six-bladed propeller in the active core that serves as a binding scaffold for the tight association of the complex with DNA. A C-terminal plant homeodomain finger-like motif in this protein is necessary for interactions with chromatin components, specifically with histone H3 that is trimethylated at lysine 4. Mutations in this gene cause Omenn syndrome, a form of severe combined immunodeficiency associated with autoimmune-like symptoms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The NM_000536.4:c.193G>T variant in RAG2 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of aspartic acid by tyrosine at amino acid 65 (p.Asp74Tyr). The variant has been reported in one individual with SCID. The individual was homozygous of this variant (PM3_Supporting, PMID 21624848). The individual had a T-B-NK+ lymphocyte profile and showed reduced T-cell proliferation under PHA stimulation, which supports a diagnosis of leaky/atypical SCID (PP4, PMID 21624848). The highest population minor allele frequency of this variant in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.000008791 (1/113758 alleles) in the European (non-Finnish) population, which is lower than the SCID-VCEP threshold (<0.0000588) for PM2_Supporting. No homozygous individual has been observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). This variant resides within the core domain (amino acids 1-383) of RAG2, defined as a critical functional domain by the ClinGen SCID VCEP. (PM1_Supporting). An in vitro recombination activity assay shows that the relevant activity of the p.D65Y variant compared to wildtype RAG2 is 6.8%, which is below the threshold (<25%) established by the SCID VCEP for PS3_Moderate (PS3_Moderate, PMID 29772310). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive recombinase activating gene 2 deficiency based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen SCID VCEP. Criteria applied: PP4, PM3_Supporting, PM2_Supporting, PM1_Supporting, and PS3_Moderate (VCEP specifications version 1.0). -

Variant summary: RAG2 c.193G>T (p.Asp65Tyr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251474 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.193G>T has been reported in the literature in an individual homozygous for the variant affected with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (Dalal_2011). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. At least one publication reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, and demonstrated severely decreased recombinase activity (Tirosh_2019). Four submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, and classified the variant as pathogenic (n=1), likely pathogenic (n=2), or uncertain significance (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 65 of the RAG2 protein (p.Asp65Tyr). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with severe combined immunodeficiency (PMID: 21624848). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 427020). 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 RAG2 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects RAG2 function (PMID: 29772310). 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. -
