Original ACMG Summary Null variant (nonsense, frameshift, canonical +/−1 or 2 splice sites, initiation codon, single or multi-exon deletion) in a gene where loss of function (LOF) is a known mechanism of disease. Caveats: • Beware of genes where LOF is not a known disease mechanism (e.g. GFAP, MYH7). • Use caution interpreting LOF variants at the extreme 3’ end of a gene. • Use caution with splice variants that are predicted to lead to exon skipping but leave the remainder of the protein intact. • Use caution in the presence of multiple transcripts. VCEP Specifications: See attached PVS1 flowchart. Stand Alone Very Strong Use ClinGen SVI recommendations for loss of function criterion (Tayoun et al., 2018 (PMID: 30192042)). Modification Type: General recommendation,Gene-specific Strong Use ClinGen SVI recommendations for loss of function criterion (Tayoun et al., 2018 (PMID: 30192042)) with two specifications: For variants not predicted to undergo nonsense-mediated decay but removing >10% of protein (i.e. variants in the last exon, exon 8, or variants in the last 50 nucleotides of the penultimate exon after c.826, codon 276, in exon 7), at least one pathogenic variant must be present downstream in order to apply PVS1_Strong. PVS1_Strong can be applied to variants not predicted to undergo nonsense-mediated decay but causing truncation of the transmembrane domain (which begins at amino acid 240) or any distal region (i.e. cytoplasmatic domain). Modification Type: General recommendation,Gene-specific Moderate Use ClinGen SVI recommendations for loss of function criterion (Tayoun et al., 2018 (PMID: 30192042)) with one specification: For variants not predicted to undergo nonsense-mediated decay but removing >10% of protein (i.e. variants in the last exon, exon 8, or variants in the last 50 nucleotides of the penultimate exon after c.826, codon 276, in exon 7), when at least one pathogenic variant is not present downstream downgrade to PVS1_Moderate.

Original ACMG Summary Same amino acid change as a previously established pathogenic variant regardless of nucleotide change. Example: Val->Leu caused by either G>C or G>T in the same codon. Caveat: Beware of changes that impact splicing rather than at the amino acid/protein level. Stand Alone Very Strong Strong It can also be applied for splice variants at the same nucleotide and with similar impact prediction as previously reported pathogenic variant (if the predicted impact is equal to or greater than the known pathogenic variant per in silico splicing tool SpliceAI). - Example: c.105+1G>C is known to be pathogenic, can use PS1 for c.105+1G>T. Applicable if the previously established variant is classified as pathogenic by SCID VCEP specifications for IL7R. Modification Type: Gene-specific Moderate It can also be applied for splice variants at the same nucleotide and with similar impact prediction as previously reported pathogenic variant (if the predicted impact is equal to or greater than the known pathogenic variant per in silico splicing tool SpliceAI). - Example: c.105+1G>C is known to be likely pathogenic, can use PS1 for c.105+1G>T Applicable if the previously established variant is classified as likely pathogenic by SCID VCEP specifications for IL7R.

Original ACMG Summary De novo (both maternity and paternity confirmed) in a patient with the disease and no family history. Note: Confirmation of paternity only is insufficient. Egg donation, surrogate motherhood, errors in embryo transfer, etc. can contribute to non-maternity. VCEP Specifications: The following guidelines should be used when determining the phenotypic consistency of each proband: “Phenotype highly specific for gene” proband must meet at least PP4_Moderate criteria; “Phenotype consistent with gene but not highly specific” proband must meet PP4 criteria; “Phenotype consistent with gene but not highly specific and high genetic heterogeneity”: proband has been asserted to have a SCID phenotype but does not meet PP4 criteria; Reduce points per proband by half if the phase is unconfirmed.

Original ACMG Summary Well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene or gene product. Note: Functional studies that have been validated and shown to be reproducible and robust in a clinical diagnostic laboratory setting are considered the most well-established. Stand Alone Very Strong Strong PS3 may potentially be applied at the default strength level of strong for evidence from an animal model expressing the variant of interest and recapitulating the IL7R-SCID phenotype. Animal models will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the VCEP to determine the appropriate strength level. Modification Type: Gene-specific Moderate Supporting PS3_Supporting can be applied based on an abnormal result in at least one approved in vitro assay (IL-7-induced Jak3 phosphorylation assay, IL-7 binding assay, IL-7-induced STAT5 DNA binding/transcriptional induction). Approved assay instances: IL-7-induced Jak3 phosphorylation assay Roifman et al., 2000 (PMID: 11023514) IL-7 binding assay Puel et al., 1998 (PMID: 9843216) IL-7-induced STAT5 DNA binding/transcriptional induction Puel et al., 1998 (PMID: 9843216) At least one previously observed proband with the expressed IL7R variant meeting PP4 is required to apply PS3 at any strength on the basis of a cellular model/in vitro study.

Original ACMG Summary The prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared to the prevalence in controls. Note 1: Relative risk (RR) or odds ratio (OR), as obtained from case-control studies, is >5.0 and the confidence interval around the estimate of RR or OR does not include 1.0. See manuscript for detailed guidance. Note 2: In instances of very rare variants where case-control studies may not reach statistical significance, the prior observation of the variant in multiple unrelated patients with the same phenotype, and its absence in controls, may be used as moderate level of evidence. VCEP Specifications: When the variant has been detected in multiple unrelated affected individuals (with at least one core feature of T lymphopenia, congenital alopecia, and nail dystrophy), evaluate each proband with the PP4 criteria (see below) and add points across all probands. Exclude the proband used to satisfy the PP4 criteria and cap each additional proband’s contribution at 2pt. Caveat: variant must be sufficiently rare (meet PM2 specification).

Original ACMG Summary Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc.). Caveat: As many in silico algorithms use the same or very similar input for their predictions, each algorithm should not be counted as an independent criterion. PP3 can be used only once in any evaluation of a variant.

Original ACMG Summary A synonymous variant for which splicing prediction algorithms predict no impact to the splice consensus sequence nor the creation of a new splice site AND the nucleotide is not highly conserved. Stand Alone Very Strong Strong Moderate Supporting Applicable to both synonymous variants and deep intronic variants affecting nucleotides at or beyond the +7 (donor) and -21 (acceptor) positions. The variant should be predicted not to impact splicing by at least two out of three in silico tools (freely available tools include GeneSplicer, MaxEntScan, NNSplice, SpliceAI, Splicing Sequences Finder (SSF), and varSEAK). Given the potential for poor conservation of genes related to T cell and B cell development among vertebrates, nucleotide conservation is not required in order to apply BP7.
