Genetic Variant SLC18A3:p.Asp46Ala (chr10-49610877-A-C) – ACMG Classification: Uncertain_significance (4 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PM2PP3_Moderate

The NM_003055.3(SLC18A3):c.137A>C(p.Asp46Ala) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000657 in 152,104 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. D46G) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

SLC18A3 (HGNC:10936): (solute carrier family 18 member A3) This gene is a member of the vesicular amine transporter family. The encoded transmembrane protein transports acetylcholine into secretory vesicles for release into the extracellular space. Acetylcholine transport utilizes a proton gradient established by a vacuolar ATPase. This gene is located within the first intron of the choline acetyltransferase gene.

CHAT (HGNC:1912): (choline O-acetyltransferase) This gene encodes an enzyme which catalyzes the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This gene product is a characteristic feature of cholinergic neurons, and changes in these neurons may explain some of the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital myasthenic syndrome associated with episodic apnea. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, and some of these variants have been shown to encode more than one isoform. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
