Genes affected

CHRNA3 (HGNC:1957): (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 3 subunit) This locus encodes a member of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor family of proteins. Members of this family of proteins form pentameric complexes comprised of both alpha and beta subunits. This locus encodes an alpha-type subunit, as it contains characteristic adjacent cysteine residues. The encoded protein is a ligand-gated ion channel that likely plays a role in neurotransmission. Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with an increased risk of smoking initiation and an increased susceptibility to lung cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu499*) in the CHRNA3 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 7 amino acid(s) of the CHRNA3 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs759986717, gnomAD 0.04%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CHRNA3-related conditions. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -
