Congenital myasthenic syndrome Uncertain:1Benign:1
This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

Tip-toe gait Pathogenic:1
The variant c.901G> A p. (Val301Met), which is listed in the dbSNP database [dbSNP: rs140023380 frequency A = 0.0711% (ExAC)], was found heterozygous in the CHRNE gene. In the ClinVar database, it is rated inconsistently with regard to its clinical effects (2x probably benign, 1x VUS). In the locus-specific database LOVD, it is also assessed as a variant of unclear significance. The variant causes the exchange of the amino acid valine at position 301 by methionine in the highly conserved second extracellular topological domain of the epsilon subunit of the acetylcholine receptor, which can influence the protein structure due to the steric differences between the two amino acids. The variant has not yet been described in the literature, but variants in the neighboring codons have been associated with the congenital myasthenia syndrome as pathological. A pathological influence is supported by the results of in-silico calculations; PolyPhen-2 "possibly damaging", MutationTaster "disease causing", MutationAssessor "medium impact". The fact that the patient has a "de novo" mutation may also indicate that it is a pathogenic mutation. Myopathy refers to diseases that affect skeletal Muscles. These diseases attack muscle fibers, making muscles weak. Inherited myopathies are often caused by inheriting an abnormal gene mutation from a parent that causes the disease. Symptoms of congenital myopathies usually start at birth or in early childhood, but may not appear until the teen years or even later in adulthood. Congenital myopathies are somewhat unique compared with other inherited myopathies, as weakness typically affects all muscles and is often not progressive. Symptoms are: Muscle weakness, most commonly of upper arms and shoulders and thighs, muscle cramps, stiffness and spasms, fatigue with exertion and lack of energy. Our patients all walk on tiptoe, so they show similar symptoms. When we genetically test them with our toe walking panel, we find that around 90 per cent of them have a genetic variant that explains their toe walking. These can be assigned, for example, to the area of myopathies (such as variants of the COL6A3 gene), the area of hereditary neuropathies (such as variants of the KMT2C gene) or the area of metabolic diseases (such as variants of the PYGM gene). In a smaller group of patients with almost identical symptoms, no abnormality is found in the genes of our panel, but spastic paraplegia can be detected. In another small group of our toe walkers, no abnormalities can be detected in the genes analysed in our toe walking panel, nor do they suffer from spastic paraplegia, as is also the case with healthy children. In contrast to these, however, they show a tiptoe gait. These patients suffer from infantile cerebral palsy, in which toe walking can also be observed. -
not provided Uncertain:1
- -
not specified Benign:1
This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
Congenital myasthenic syndrome 4A Benign:1
- -
CHRNE-related disorder Benign:1
This variant is classified as likely benign based on ACMG/AMP sequence variant interpretation guidelines (Richards et al. 2015 PMID: 25741868, with internal and published modifications). -
