Genes affected
MLC1 (HGNC:17082): (modulator of VRAC current 1) The function of this gene product is unknown; however, homology to other proteins suggests that it may be an integral membrane transporter. Mutations in this gene have been associated with megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts, an autosomal recessive neurological disorder. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. 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 not expected to disrupt MLC1 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 68797). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with MLC1-related conditions (PMID: 21555057, 31069529, 32209057). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 320 of the MLC1 protein (p.Thr320Lys). -

Variant summary: MLC1 c.959C>A (p.Thr320Lys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 245644 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.959C>A has been reported in the literature in multiple homozygous individuals affected with megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts 1 and in several families, the variant segregated with the disease (examples: Boor_2006, Ilyas_2020, Shukla_2011). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 16652334, 32209057, 21555057). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 68797). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
