Genes linked to Combined immunodeficiency due to partial RAG1 deficiency
RAG1: V(D)J recombination-activating protein 1
It initiates V(D)J recombination by cutting antigen-receptor gene segments, creating the enormous receptor diversity required for adaptive immunity. Biallelic severe loss-of-function variants cause severe combined immunodeficiency, while hypomorphic alleles can cause Omenn syndrome or combined immunodeficiency with autoimmunity.
13 disease-causing and 15 uncertain variants in RAG1 are linked to Combined immunodeficiency due to partial RAG1 deficiency.

Which prediction tools work for Combined immunodeficiency due to partial RAG1 deficiency
How often each tool ranks a disease-causing variant above a harmless one (AUROC × 100).
- REVEL: 100 out of 100 (learned from overlapping clinical labels, so this is optimistic)
- CATVariant: 98 out of 100 (learned from overlapping clinical labels, so this is optimistic)
- SIFT: 97 out of 100
- CADD: 96 out of 100
- PolyPhen-2: 89 out of 100 (learned from overlapping clinical labels, so this is optimistic)
- phyloP: 85 out of 100
Same protein, different disease
- Severe combined immunodeficiency, autosomal recessive, T cell-negative, B cell-negative, NK cell-positive is also caused by RAG1 variants; they fall mostly in different places as the Combined immunodeficiency due to partial RAG1 deficiency variants (52 disease-causing).
- Combined immunodeficiency with skin granulomas is also caused by RAG1 variants; they fall mostly in different places as the Combined immunodeficiency due to partial RAG1 deficiency variants (49 disease-causing).
- Histiocytic medullary reticulosis is also caused by RAG1 variants; they fall mostly in different places as the Combined immunodeficiency due to partial RAG1 deficiency variants (11 disease-causing).

About this data
Variant–disease links come from ClinVar, Open Targets and UniProt, pooled from the latest public CATVariant analysis of each human protein. Evidence scores use the ACMG/AMP Bayesian points scale with computable criteria only (position among known disease variants, rarity in gnomAD, calibrated predictors, deep mutational scanning); there is no family or patient data, so they prioritise variants for expert review and never classify them.
