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]

GABRB3 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in gene, where missense usually causes diseases (based on misZ statistic), GABRB3. . Gene score misZ 3.3856 (greater than the threshold 3.09). Trascript score misZ 4.4544 (greater than threshold 3.09). GenCC has associacion of gene with 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, 0.98
• PP5: Variant 15-26772403-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr15-26772403-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 420927.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Uncertain_significance=1, Likely_pathogenic=1}.

The M80T variant in the GABRB3 gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The M80T variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The M80T variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. We interpret M80T as a strong candidate for a pathogenic variant. -

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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with GABRB3-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 420927). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces methionine with threonine at codon 80 of the GABRB3 protein (p.Met80Thr). The methionine residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between methionine and threonine. -
