Genes affected
CHRNA3 (HGNC:1957): (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 3 subunit) This locus encodes a member of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor family of proteins. Members of this family of proteins form pentameric complexes comprised of both alpha and beta subunits. This locus encodes an alpha-type subunit, as it contains characteristic adjacent cysteine residues. The encoded protein is a ligand-gated ion channel that likely plays a role in neurotransmission. Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with an increased risk of smoking initiation and an increased susceptibility to lung cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 27, 2021The c.1478G>C (p.G493A) alteration is located in exon 6 (coding exon 6) of the CHRNA3 gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 1478, causing the glycine (G) at amino acid position 493 to be replaced by an alanine (A). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
