Genes affected

GRIN2A (HGNC:4585): (glutamate ionotropic receptor NMDA type subunit 2A) This gene encodes a member of the glutamate-gated ion channel protein family. The encoded protein is an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subunit. NMDA receptors are both ligand-gated and voltage-dependent, and are involved in long-term potentiation, an activity-dependent increase in the efficiency of synaptic transmission thought to underlie certain kinds of memory and learning. These receptors are permeable to calcium ions, and activation results in a calcium influx into post-synaptic cells, which results in the activation of several signaling cascades. Disruption of this gene is associated with focal epilepsy and speech disorder with or without cognitive disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 15 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a transmembrane_region Helical (size 20) in uniprot entity NMDE1_HUMAN there are 6 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_001134407.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the GRIN2A gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 92 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 175 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 2.8278 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 3.7088 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to early-onset epileptic encephalopathy and intellectual disability due to GRIN2A mutation, Landau-Kleffner syndrome, continuous spikes and waves during sleep, complex neurodevelopmental disorder, rolandic epilepsy-speech dyspraxia syndrome, childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.851
• PP5: Variant 16-9768993-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-9768993-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 495226.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr16-9768993-G-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 818 of the GRIN2A protein (p.Ala818Glu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with GRIN2A-related disorders (PMID: 30544257). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 495226). 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 expected to disrupt GRIN2A protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
