Genes affected

GABRB3 (HGNC:4083): (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit beta3) This gene encodes a member of the ligand-gated ionic channel family. The encoded protein is one the subunits of a multi-subunit chloride channel that serves as the receptor for gamma-aminobutyric acid, a major inhibitory neurotransmitter of the mammalian nervous system. This gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 15 in a cluster with two other genes encoding related subunits of the family. This gene may be associated with the pathogenesis of several disorders including Angelman syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, nonsyndromic orofacial clefts, epilepsy and autism. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr168*) in the GABRB3 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GABRB3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 26950270, 28053010). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GABRB3-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 409956). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
