Description
This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 222 of the PRF1 protein (p.His222Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs751247865, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (PMID: 14757862, 15205266, 16278825, 17525286, 19595804). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 280112). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on PRF1 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects PRF1 function (PMID: 15755897, 17525286, 19487666). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
