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]

The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity. (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org) This variant is primarily reported as autosomal recessive myotonia congenita (PMID: 9736777, 12661046, 15162127, 15786415, 16786525, 17932099, 18337730, 21387378, 24037712, 28662944, 34529042), however, it has also been reported as possible autosomal dominant myotonia congenita (PMID: 9736777, 18816629, 23810313, 24037712, 34529042). Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. (PMID: 9736777) In multiple individuals, this variant has been seen with a single recessive pathogenic variant in the same gene, suggesting this variant may also be pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 285 of the CLCN1 protein (p.Gly285Glu). This variant is present in population databases (rs150885084, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant and/or autosomal recessive myotonia congenita (PMID: 9736777, 12390967, 18337730, 21387378, 24037712, 34529042). This missense change has also been observed in the heterozygous state in unaffected individuals, consistent with reduced penetrance (PMID: 34529042). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 280100). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CLCN1 function (PMID: 9736777). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.854G>A (p.Gly285Glu) variant identified in the CLCN1 gene substitutes a well conserved Glycine for Glutamic Acid at amino acid 285/989 (exon 8/23). This variant is found with low frequency in gnomAD(v3.1.1) (5 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes; allele frequency: 3.29e-5) suggesting it is not a common benign variant in the populations represented in that database. In silico algorithms predict this variant to be Damaging (SIFT; score:0.00) and Pathogenic (REVEL; score:0.93) to the function of the canonical transcript. This variant is reported as Pathogenic in ClinVar (VarID:280100) and has been identified in many affected individuals in the literature in homozygosity or compound heterozygosity with another variant [PMID:18337730; PMID: 24037712; others], and in some individuals with presumed autosomal recessive inheritance but without a second variant identified [PMID: 9736777; PMID:21387378; PMID: 24037712; others], as well as in one family with an affected mother and son and presumed autosomal dominant inheritance pattern [PMID:18816629]. Functional studies demonstrate the p.Gly285Glu variant leads to absence of chloride currents [PMID:9736777]. Given its identification in many affected individuals in the literature, functional studies showing deleterious effect, low frequency in population databases, and in silico algorithms prediction of a deleterious effect, the c.854G>A (p.Gly285Glu) variant identified in the CLCN1 gene is reported as Pathogenic. -

Myopathy refers to diseases that affect skeletal Muscles. These diseases attack muscle fibers, making muscles weak. Inherited myopathies are often caused by inheriting an abnormal gene mutation from a parent that causes the disease. Symptoms of congenital myopathies usually start at birth or in early childhood, but may not appear until the teen years or even later in adulthood. Congenital myopathies are somewhat unique compared with other inherited myopathies, as weakness typically affects all muscles and is often not progressive. Symptoms are: Muscle weakness, most commonly of upper arms and shoulders and thighs, muscle cramps, stiffness and spasms, fatigue with exertion and lack of energy. Our patients all walk on tiptoe, so they show similar symptoms. When we genetically test them with our toe walking panel, we find that around 90 per cent of them have a genetic variant that explains their toe walking. These can be assigned, for example, to the area of myopathies (such as variants of the COL6A3 gene), the area of hereditary neuropathies (such as variants of the KMT2C gene) or the area of metabolic diseases (such as variants of the PYGM gene). In a smaller group of patients with almost identical symptoms, no abnormality is found in the genes of our panel, but spastic paraplegia can be detected. In another small group of our toe walkers, no abnormalities can be detected in the genes analysed in our toe walking panel, nor do they suffer from spastic paraplegia, as is also the case with healthy children. In contrast to these, however, they show a tiptoe gait. These patients suffer from infantile cerebral palsy, in which toe walking can also be observed. -

The CLCN1 c.854G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly285Glu. This variant has been reported in patients with autosomal recessive myotonia congenita (see, for example, Kubisch et al. 1998. PubMed ID: 9736777; Trip et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 18337730). In addition, it has been documented in the heterozygous state among several individuals with presumed autosomal recessive disease (Kubisch et al. 1998. PubMed ID: 9736777, Tan et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24037712) and in at least one affected mother and her son with presumed autosomal dominant inheritance (Thomas et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 18816629). Functional studies on this variant have demonstrated that it affects chloride channel function (Kubisch et al. 1998. PubMed ID: 9736777). Of note, c.854G is the first base of exon eight and splicing prediction programs indicate that it may impact splicing at the consensus site (SpliceAI, Jaganathan K, et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30661751). This variant is classified as pathogenic in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/280100/). This variant is reported in 0.011% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. In summary, this variant is interpreted as pathogenic for autosomal recessive CLCN1-related disorders; however, it is uncertain in the context of an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. -
