Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Moderate
The NM_000171.4(GLRA1):c.737G>A(p.Arg246Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000889 in 1,461,612 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R246W) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Hereditary hyperekplexia    Pathogenic:1 
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 246 of the GLRA1 protein (p.Arg246Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs281864916, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hyperekplexia (PMID: 12746425). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. This variant is also known as R218Q. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38329). 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%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
