Gene: NFAT5
One case only describedCreated: 29 Jun 2018, 2:51 p.m.
Comment on list classification: This rating of this gene has been returned to red. The amber rating was made in error as only one immunodeficiency associated variant has been reported in this gene.Created: 26 Sep 2018, 2:30 p.m.
Not associated with a phenotype in OMIM or in Gen2Phen. No variants reported, however, haploinsufficiency of NFAT5 was reported in young man with autoimmune enterocolopathy and unexplained infections revealing evidence of immunodeficiency, including IgG subclass deficiency, impaired Ag-induced lymphocyte proliferation, reduced cytokine production by CD8(+) T lymphocytes, and decreased numbers of NK cells (PMID 25667416).
NFAT5 is one of 8 genes (NFAT5, MIR1538, NQO1, NOB1, WWP2, MIR140, CLEC18A, and PDXDC2) located in a 559-kilobase deletion within 16q22.1 (PMID 25667416), none of the other genes appear to have any association with immunodeficiency and are not listed on this panel.
Based on this evidence in consultation with Helen Britain (Clinical Fellow, Genomics England), this gene has been promoted to amber, with a "watchlist" tag applied as it appears that changes in this gene could potentially be relevant to this panel.Created: 2 May 2018, 1:38 p.m.
watch tag added - there is supportive evidence in terms of cellular studies in mice that partially reproduce the immune phenotype with haploinsufficiency of this gene, Watchlist tag added in relation for further evidence of CNV / SNVs to promote it to green.Created: 26 Sep 2018, 2:37 p.m.
Comment on list classification: Changed from Amber to Red. Only one published case with immunodeficiency to date. Gene is pertinent on Victorian Clinical Genetics Services panel and GRID for Immunological disorders. Request evidences from Victorian Clinical Genetics Services and GRID.Created: 4 Jul 2018, 4:03 p.m.

This gene was absent from the original PanelApp PID panel dataset (review April 2018). However it was listed in external expert immunodeficiency diagnostic gene list(s) GOSH or GRID. In this combined PID panel, this gene has been rated as AMBER and needs further curational review to assess pertinence prior to v1.Created: 20 Apr 2018, 12:25 p.m.
