Genes affected
GLRA1 (HGNC:4326): (glycine receptor alpha 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of a pentameric inhibitory glycine receptor, which mediates postsynaptic inhibition in the central nervous system. Defects in this gene are a cause of startle disease (STHE), also known as hereditary hyperekplexia or congenital stiff-person syndrome. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

Hereditary hyperekplexia Pathogenic:1
Jan 19, 2025
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 280 of the GLRA1 protein (p.Arg280His). This variant is present in population databases (rs281864918, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive hyperekplexia (PMID: 10514101; internal data). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as Arg252His. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 242679). 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 GLRA1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GLRA1 function (PMID: 12169101, 19732286). This variant disrupts the p.Arg280 amino acid residue in GLRA1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with GLRA1-related conditions (PMID: 20631190), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
