Genes affected
CLCN1 (HGNC:2019): (chloride voltage-gated channel 1) The CLCN family of voltage-dependent chloride channel genes comprises nine members (CLCN1-7, Ka and Kb) which demonstrate quite diverse functional characteristics while sharing significant sequence homology. The protein encoded by this gene regulates the electric excitability of the skeletal muscle membrane. Mutations in this gene cause two forms of inherited human muscle disorders: recessive generalized myotonia congenita (Becker) and dominant myotonia (Thomsen). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect; specifically, cRNA expressed in Xenopus oocytes did not yield detectable currents, suggesting that the variant results in loss of ion channel function. Additionally, co-expression studies with wild type channel yielded detectable, though reduced currents, suggesting that the variant does not impact wild type channel function and is consistent with recessive inheritance (PMID: 7951242); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26502825, 31589614, 7951242, 8533761, 23739125, 27199537, 22094069, 33263785) -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 496 of the CLCN1 protein (p.Arg496Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs121912801, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive myotonia congenita (PMID: 7951242, 22094069, 26502825, 27199537). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17535). 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 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CLCN1 function (PMID: 7951242, 8533761). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: CLCN1 c.1488G>T (p.Arg496Ser) results in a non-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 1.6e-05 in 251466 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1488G>T has been reported in the literature in the homozygous and compound heterozygous state in many individuals affected with the autosomal recessive form of congenital myotonia, Becker disease (e.g. Lorenz_1994, Mazon_2012, Brugnoni_2013, Ronstedt_2015, Stunnenberg_2018, Vereb_2021). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. When expressed in vitro, the variant protein did not give rise to currents above levels observed in cells without CLCN1 expression (e.g. Lorenz_1994). Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and both classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The CLCN1 c.1488G>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg496Ser. This variant, along with a second variant or in the homozygous state, was reported in several individuals with myotonia congenita (see, for example, Lorenz et al 1994. PubMed ID: 7951242; Mazón et al 2011. PubMed ID: 22094069; Vereb et al 2020. PubMed ID: 33263785). Of note, heterozygous individuals have been reported to be unaffected suggesting this variant exhibits autosomal recessive inheritance (Mazón et al 2011. PubMed ID: 22094069). In vitro experimental studies suggest this variant impacts protein function (Lorenz et al 1994. PubMed ID: 7951242). This variant is reported in 0.0056% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/7-143036620-G-T). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
