Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points: 5P and 2B. PM1PM5PP2BP4_Moderate
The NM_006516.4(SLC2A1):c.668G>A(p.Arg223Gln) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000248 in 1,613,998 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R223P) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Dystonia 9    Uncertain:2 
This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Encephalopathy due to GLUT1 deficiency    Uncertain:2 
- -
The missense variant p.R223Q in SLC2A1 (NM_006516.4) has been previously reported in an individual affected with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (Arsov et al, 2012). This variant has been reported to have conflicting or insufficient data to determine the effect on SLC2A1 protein function (Lee et al, 2015). The p.Arg223Gln variant has a GnomAD frequency of 0.001193 % and is novel (not in any individuals) in 1000 Genomes. In silico tools predict the variant to be tolerated. The residue is conserved across species. The amino acid change p.Arg223Gln in SLC2A1 is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Uncertain Significance. The observed variant was also detected in the spouse. -

Reported previously in an individual with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (Arsov et al., 2012); Published functional studies suggest that the R223Q variant may impact protein function (Lee et al., 2015); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 28717674, 23280796, 25982116) -
Inborn genetic diseases    Uncertain:1 
The p.R223Q variant (also known as c.668G>A), located in coding exon 5 of the SLC2A1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 668. The arginine at codon 223 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant did not co-segregate with disease in one individual tested in our laboratory. This alteration was identified in an individual with idiopathic generalized epilepsy, however functional analysis did not show a significant impact on transport (Arsov T et al. Ann. Neurol., 2012 Nov;72:807-15). Subsequent functional studies however demonstrated a negative functional impact for three variants at this position, including R223Q, R223P, and R223W (Lee EE et al. Mol. Cell, 2015 Jun;58:845-53). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species, and glutamine is the reference amino acid in other vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is conflicting at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

GLUT1 deficiency syndrome 1, autosomal recessive    Uncertain:1 
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 223 of the SLC2A1 protein (p.Arg223Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs397514564, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (PMID: 23280796, 35571021). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 842670). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt SLC2A1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on SLC2A1 function (PMID: 23280796, 25982116). This variant disrupts the p.Arg223 amino acid residue in SLC2A1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 25564316, 26537434). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
