Genes affected

MLC1 (HGNC:17082): (modulator of VRAC current 1) The function of this gene product is unknown; however, homology to other proteins suggests that it may be an integral membrane transporter. Mutations in this gene have been associated with megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts, an autosomal recessive neurological disorder. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

A Homozygote Frameshift variant c.135dupC in Exon 2 of the MLC1 gene that results in the amino acid substitution p.Cys46fs*34 was identified. The observed variant has a minor allele frequency of 0.00003% in gnomAD exomes and and novel in 1KG, respectively. The severity of the impact of this variant on the protein is high, based on the effect of the protein and REVEL score . Rare Exome Variant Ensemble Learner (REVEL) is an ensembl method for predicting the pathogenicity of missense variants based on a combination of scores from 13 individual tools: MutPred, FATHMM v2.3, VEST 3.0, PolyPhen-2, SIFT, PROVEAN, MutationAssessor, MutationTaster, LRT, GERP++, SiPhy, phyloP, and phastCons. The REVEL score for an individual missense variant can range from 0 to 1, with higher scores reflecting greater likelihood that the variant is disease- causing. ClinVar has also classified this variant as Pathogenic [Variation ID: 4722]. The observed variation has been previously reported in individuals with megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy (Shukla P, et.al., 2011). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.135dupC variant in the MLC1 gene has been reported in the homozygous state in several unrelated patients with MLC (Leegwater et al., 2002; Ben-Zeev et al., 2002; Ridder et al., 2011; Saini et al., 2015). The c.135dupC variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Cysteine 46, changes this amino acid to a Leucine residue, and creates a premature Stop codon at position 34 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Cys46LeufsX34. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The c.135dupC variant is observed in 7/245210 (0.003%) alleles in large population cohorts We interpret c.135dupC as a pathogenic variant. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys46Leufs*34) in the MLC1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MLC1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11254442, 16470554, 24824219). This variant is present in population databases (rs80358241, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy (PMID: 11935341, 12189496, 21555057). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4722). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
