Genes affected

CLCN2 (HGNC:2020): (chloride voltage-gated channel 2) This gene encodes a voltage-gated chloride channel. The encoded protein is a transmembrane protein that maintains chloride ion homeostasis in various cells. Defects in this gene may be a cause of certain epilepsies. Four transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 577 of the CLCN2 protein (p.Arg577Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs137852682, gnomAD 0.06%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CLCN2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 9039). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt CLCN2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CLCN2 function (PMID: 19191339, 23632988). 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. -

Variant summary: CLCN2 c.1730G>A (p.Arg577Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00033 in 233882 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00061 within the Latino subpopulation in the gnomAD database. c.1730G>A has been reported in the literature in two siblings affected with CLCN2-Related Disorders but did not segregate with disease in that family, meanwhile another apparently pathogenic deletion c.4339-12_4349del23 in SCN1A was found arising de novo in another patient with severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy in the same family (Saint-Martin_2009). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with CLCN2-Related Disorders. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in loss of long-lasting closed state of CLCN2 channel via patch clamp recordings in HEK293T cells (Stolting_2013). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 19191339, 23632988). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 9039). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The CLCN2 c.1730G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg577Gln. This variant was reported in heterozygous state in two siblings with generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS) and their unaffected father (Saint-Martin et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19191339). In vitro functional studies suggest that this variant may impact protein function (Saint-Martin et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19191339; Stölting et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23632988). This variant is reported in 0.060% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD, which is higher than expected for autosomal dominant disorder. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
