THBD was discussed with the NHS GMS renal specialist group on 2019-02-04. It was decided that this gene should remain red on the panel.Created: 12 Feb 2019, 12:44 p.m.
This gene was part of an initial gene list collated by Valerie Wilson, The National Renal Complement Therapeutics Centre, February 2019 on behalf of Yorkshire and North East GLH for the GMS Renal Specialist Test Group; Gene Symbol submitted: THBD; Suggested initial gene rating: none provided;Created: 12 Feb 2019, 12:40 p.m.
A literature search did not result in further evidence of an association between THBD and and Atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome. In addition, Osborne et al 2018 (29500241) performed analysis of 610 rare genetic variants from 6 centres in 13 genes including THBD from >3500 patients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) and C3 glomerulopathy. After comparing allele frequencies of variants in these genes with those found in the ExAC server, no association was found between the rare variants in THBD and aHUS.Created: 5 Jul 2018, 1:24 p.m.
Mode of inheritance
MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, imprinted status unknown
Variants in this GENE are reported as part of current diagnostic practice
Comment when marking as ready: Associated with phenotype in OMIM, not in G2P. At least nine variants reported but multi-factorial influences prevent this gene from being made green at the momentCreated: 17 Aug 2016, 12:38 p.m.
Comment on list classification: THBD is controversial because there are reports of THBD variants in aHUS patients, however, it is not clear how strong their effects are. The low penetrance is seen in variants of other (established) aHUS genes, but causative variants in THBD have not been reported in the absence of other gene variants or external factors. Therefore, it may be that the presence of a THBD variant is neither necessary nor sufficient to cause aHUS (D. Gale personal communication)Created: 17 Aug 2016, 12:35 p.m.
Nine disease associated variants reported in the literature (PMIDs 19625716, 25135378, 20513133). Variants p.Ala43Thr and p.Asp53Gly (PMIDs 19625716) were reported in unaffected family members of the probands, with the implication that those carriers had remained unaffected because they may not have been in contact with the triggering insult of a relevant bacterial or viral infection, or vaccination. Other THBD variants have also been reported with variants in CF1, CFHR5 and CFB genes (20513133, 23307876).Created: 16 Aug 2016, 11:36 a.m.
Comment on phenotypes: Variants also reported in Thrombophilia due to thrombomodulin defect 614486Created: 16 Aug 2016, 9:45 a.m.
