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]

The p.G79R variant (also known as c.235G>C), located in coding exon 1 of the EPM2A gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 235. The glycine at codon 79 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is well conserved on limited sequence alignment. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 79 of the EPM2A protein (p.Gly79Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs374826256, gnomAD 0.2%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with EPM2A-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 193326). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. 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. -
