IRF2BP2

Chr 1AD

interferon regulatory factor 2 binding protein 2

Also known as: CVID14, LRIR2

The protein acts as a transcriptional corepressor that interacts with interferon regulatory factor-2 and plays a role in immature B-cell differentiation. Mutations cause common variable immunodeficiency with autosomal dominant inheritance. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants (pLI 0.85, LOEUF 0.45), indicating intolerance to protein disruption.

This gene has evidence for multiple mechanisms of pathogenicity (loss-of-function and gain-of-function). Both the Badonyi & Marsh prediction and the broader genomic evidence point to loss-of-function as the predominant mechanism. Different variants in this gene may act through different mechanisms — interpret in context of the specific variant.

Literature Evidence

GOFExtensive gastrointestinal workup was unrevealing, but whole-exome sequencing identified two autosomal dominant gene variants: NLRP12 (loss of function) and IRF2BP2 (gain of function).PMID:35538558

Predictions from Badonyi M, Marsh JA. PLoS ONE. 2024;19(8):e0307312. Mechanism ranking also informed by gnomAD constraint, ClinVar, and ClinGen data.
