Genes affected
NHLRC1 (HGNC:21576): (NHL repeat containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a single subunit E3 ubiquitin ligase. Laforin is polyubiquitinated by the encoded protein. Defects in this intronless gene lead to an accumulation of laforin and onset of Lafora disease, also known as progressive myoclonic epilepsy type 2 (EPM2).[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJan 09, 2023Observed multiple times with another NHLRC1 variant in published literature, but it is not known whether the variants occurred on the same (in cis) or on different (in trans) chromosomes (Chan et al., 2003; Couarch et al., 2011; Riva et al., 2021); Published functional studies indicate that D146N interferes with the protein's ability to clear glycogen accumulation and to interact with other proteins in the glycogen synthesis pathway (Vilchez et al., 17952067; Couarch et al., 2011); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 18029386, 25667860, 22425593, 25401298, 17952067, 25270369, 22047982, 21738631, 21505799, 27194917, 16529633, 29431110, 34426522, 16190947, 31589614, 33540374, 34117373, 33773408, 12958597) -

Lafora disease Pathogenic:1Other:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 27, 2024This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 146 of the NHLRC1 protein (p.Asp146Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs769301934, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Lafora disease (PMID: 12958597, 16529633, 21505799, 22047982, 25667860). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 162618). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on NHLRC1 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects NHLRC1 function (PMID: 17952067, 21505799). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMar 04, 2020The p.D146N pathogenic mutation (also known as c.436G>A), located in coding exon 1 of the NHLRC1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 436. The aspartic acid at codon 146 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been detected in both the homozygous and compound heterozygous states in individuals with Lafora disease who experienced later than average disease onset and atypically slow disease progression (Chan EM et al. Nat. Genet., 2003 Oct;35:125-7; Baykan B et al. Epilepsia, 2005 Oct;46:1695-7; Franceschetti S et al. Epilepsia, 2006 Mar;47:640-3; Salar S et al. Epilepsy Res., 2012 Feb;98:273-6; Ferlazzo E et al. Epilepsia, 2014 Dec;55:e129-33; Lanoiselée HM et al. Epilepsy Behav Case Rep, 2014 Jan;2:19-21; Bisulli F et al. Orphanet J Rare Dis, 2019 06;14:149). In addition, in two functional studies, this alteration was shown to impair interaction with laforin and failed to induce the degradation of protein targeting to glycogen (PTG), leading to intracellular glycogen accumulation (Couarch P et al. J. Mol. Med., 2011 Sep;89:915-25; Vilchez D et al. Nat. Neurosci., 2007 Nov;10:1407-13). Of note, these results are consistent with a finding in the malin knockout mouse, which showed glycogen accumulation underlies neurodegeration in Lafora disease (Duran J et al. Hum. Mol. Genet., 2014 Jun;23:3147-56). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
