Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 3P and 1B. PM2 PP2 BP6

The NM_000807.4(GABRA2):​c.1219_1220delinsAA​(p.Ala407Lys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A407E) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

GABRA2 (HGNC:4076): (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit alpha2) GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain where it acts at GABA-A receptors, which are ligand-gated chloride channels. Chloride conductance of these channels can be modulated by agents such as benzodiazepines that bind to the GABA-A receptor. At least 16 distinct subunits of GABA-A receptors have been identified. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2013]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 2 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), GABRA2. . Gene score misZ 3.1277 (greater than the threshold 3.09). Trascript score misZ 3.4041 (greater than threshold 3.09). GenCC has associacion of gene with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 78, undetermined early-onset epileptic encephalopathy.
• BP6: Variant 4-46250444-GC-TT is Benign according to our data. Variant chr4-46250444-GC-TT is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 432686.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_benign=1, Uncertain_significance=1}.

The c.1219_1220delGCinsAA variant in the GABRA2 gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The c.1219_1220delGCinsAA variant results in the replacement of the normal Alanine at position 407 with a Lysine residue, denoted p.Ala407Lys. The c.1219_1220delGCinsAA variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). The c.1219_1220delGCinsAA 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 variant occurs at a position that is conserved in mammals. In silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. We interpret c.1219_1220delGCinsAA as a variant of uncertain significance. -
