Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong

The NM_000814.6(GABRB3):​c.545A>G​(p.Tyr182Cys) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. 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. Y182F) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Genes affected

GABRB3 (HGNC:4083): (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit beta3) This gene encodes a member of the ligand-gated ionic channel family. The encoded protein is one the subunits of a multi-subunit chloride channel that serves as the receptor for gamma-aminobutyric acid, a major inhibitory neurotransmitter of the mammalian nervous system. This gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 15 in a cluster with two other genes encoding related subunits of the family. This gene may be associated with the pathogenesis of several disorders including Angelman syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, nonsyndromic orofacial clefts, epilepsy and autism. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr15-26580456-T-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• PP2: Missense variant in the GABRB3 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 56 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 26 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 3.3856 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 4.4544 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to childhood absence epilepsy, developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 43, developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, epilepsy, childhood absence, susceptibility to, 5.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.953

Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This sequence change replaces tyrosine with cysteine at codon 182 of the GABRB3 protein (p.Tyr182Cys). The tyrosine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between tyrosine and cysteine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with GABRB3-related disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C45"). This variant disrupts the p.Tyr182 amino acid residue in GABRB3. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in affected individuals (PMID: 27476654, 26704558), suggesting that it is a clinically significant residue. As a result, variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be causative of disease. 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. -
