Genes affected

EPM2A (HGNC:3413): (EPM2A glucan phosphatase, laforin) This gene encodes a dual-specificity phosphatase and may be involved in the regulation of glycogen metabolism. The protein acts on complex carbohydrates to prevent glycogen hyperphosphorylation, thus avoiding the formation of insoluble aggregates. Loss-of-function mutations in this gene have been associated with Lafora disease, a rare, adult-onset recessive neurodegenerative disease, which results in myoclonus epilepsy and usually results in death several years after the onset of symptoms. The disease is characterized by the accumulation of insoluble particles called Lafora bodies, which are derived from glycogen. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2018]

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C65"). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with EPM2A-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 531806). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces proline with glutamine at codon 234 of the EPM2A protein (p.Pro234Gln). The proline residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between proline and glutamine.
