Genes affected

GABRB1 (HGNC:4081): (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit beta1) The gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor is a multisubunit chloride channel that mediates the fastest inhibitory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. This gene encodes GABA A receptor, beta 1 subunit. It is mapped to chromosome 4p12 in a cluster comprised of genes encoding alpha 4, alpha 2 and gamma 1 subunits of the GABA A receptor. Alteration of this gene is implicated in the pathogenetics of schizophrenia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change falls in intron 2 of the GABRB1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the GABRB1 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs6285, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GABRB1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1471839). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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. -
