As with other conditions involving seizures, optimal seizure control is beneficial, and awareness of genetic causes may help with medication selection

Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the GABRB3 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000000814.6. Only rare variants are included in the table.

In the table, we include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, Mane Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equals 1. Click the count to view the source variants.

Warning: slight differences between displayed counts and the number of variants in ClinVar may occur, primarily due to (1) the application of a different transcript and/or consequence by our variant effect predictor or (2) differences in clinical significance: we classify Benign/Likely benign variants as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic variants as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Component of the heteropentameric receptor for GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate brain. Functions also as histamine receptor and mediates cellular responses to histamine. Functions as receptor for diazepines and various anesthetics, such as pentobarbital; these are bound at a separate allosteric effector binding site. Functions as ligand- gated chloride channel. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18281286, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18514161, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22243422, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22303015, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24909990, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26950270}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Epilepsy, childhood absence 5 (ECA5) [MIM:612269]: A subtype of idiopathic generalized epilepsy characterized by an onset at age 6-7 years, frequent absence seizures (several per day) and bilateral, synchronous, symmetric 3-Hz spike waves on EEG. Tonic-clonic seizures often develop in adolescence. Absence seizures may either remit or persist into adulthood. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18514161, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22303015}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Epileptic encephalopathy, early infantile, 43 (EIEE43) [MIM:617113]: A form of epileptic encephalopathy, a heterogeneous group of severe childhood onset epilepsies characterized by refractory seizures, neurodevelopmental impairment, and poor prognosis. Development is normal prior to seizure onset, after which cognitive and motor delays become apparent. EIEE43 inheritance is autosomal dominant. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23934111, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25356899, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26950270, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26993267, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27476654, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27864847}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
