Congenital myotonia, autosomal recessive form    Pathogenic:2 
Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0103 - Dominant negative and loss of function are known mechanisms of disease in this gene and are associated with autosomal dominant myotonia congenita (AD MC; MIM#160800) and autosomal recessive myotonia congenita (AR MC; MIM#255700), respectively (GeneReviews; PMID: 32117034). (I) 0108 - This gene is associated with both recessive and dominant disease. The genotype-phenotype correlation is currently unestablished however, AR MC is a more severe disease than AR MC (GeneReviews). (I) 0112 - The condition associated with this gene has incomplete penetrance. Specifically, this has been described in AD MC families (GeneReviews). (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity. Intra-familial variability has been described (GeneReviews). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from valine to leucine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD <0.01 condition (v2+v3: 2 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0309 - An alternative amino acid change at the same position has been observed in gnomAD (v2: 1 heterozygote, 0 homozygotes). (I) 0502 - Missense variant with conflicting in silico predictions and uninformative conservation. (I) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated TM1 domain (PMID: 34529042). (I) 0704 - Another missense variant comparable to the one identified in this case has limited previous evidence for pathogenicity. p.(Val299Ala) has been identified in a compound heterozygote individual with AR MC (PMID: 34790634). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. It has been reported in one AD MC family with two affecteds (PMID: 29606556), two AR MC families, one of whom reportedly have unaffected carrier parents (PMIDs: 34529042, 17932099) and in an individual with an undiagnosed neuromuscular disorder, although zygosity was not reported (PMID: 32528171). Diagnostic laboratories in ClinVar has conflicting classifications for this variant, both likely pathogenic and VUS. (SP) 1002 - This variant has moderate functional evidence supporting abnormal protein function. Patch clamp assays in xenopus oocytes demonstrated a reduction in channel activities when expressed both as a homomer or in heterozygous state (co-expressed as mutant + WT) (PMID: 34529042). (SP) 1206 - This variant has been shown to be paternally inherited (by trio analysis). (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -
Variant summary: CLCN1 c.895G>C (p.Val299Leu) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251404 control chromosomes. c.895G>C has been reported in the literature as a heterozygous and homozygous genotype in multiple individuals affected with features of myotonia congenita/skeletal muscle channelopathies/neuromuscular disorders (Abolhassani_2024, Fialho_2007, Stunnenberg_2018, Suetterlin_2022, Tpf_2020). At least one affected homozygous individual had unaffected heterozygous carrier parents reported as distant cousins with evidence of transient weakness (e.g, Fialho_2007). As both dominant and recessive variants have been reported in this gene, these data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 38374194, 17932099, 29606556, 34529042, 32528171). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 447073). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 299 of the CLCN1 protein (p.Val299Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs202179484, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of autosomal dominant CLCN1-related conditions (PMID: 29606556). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 447073). 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) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt CLCN1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CLCN1 function (PMID: 34529042). 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. -
Congenital myotonia, autosomal dominant form    Uncertain:1 
The heterozygous p.Val299Leu variant in CLCN1 was identified by our study in 1 individual with autosomal dominant myotonia congenita. The variant has been reported in 2 Dutch individuals with autosomal dominant myotonia congenita (PMID: 29606556), and has been identified in 0.003% (1/30614) of South Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs202179484). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 447073) as likely pathogenic by Athena Diagnostics Inc, and as having uncertain significance by GeneDx. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS4_supporting, PP3 (Richards 2015). -
