Variant interpretation: ADA2 deficiency is an autosomal recessive condition caused by biallelic loss-of-function mutations in the CECR1 gene. The His112Gln variant was reported previously in a patient with ADA2 deficiency (Navon Elkan et al. 2014). The CECR1 exon 7 deletion causes a frameshift mutation with premature translational termination. The proband is a compound heterozygote for the paternal and maternal CECR1 mutant alleles and has minimal circulating ADA2 activity. Hence, both mutations are pathogenic.
