Genes affected

GP1BA (HGNC:4439): (glycoprotein Ib platelet subunit alpha) Glycoprotein Ib (GP Ib) is a platelet surface membrane glycoprotein composed of a heterodimer, an alpha chain and a beta chain, that is linked by disulfide bonds. The Gp Ib functions as a receptor for von Willebrand factor (VWF). The complete receptor complex includes noncovalent association of the alpha and beta subunits with platelet glycoprotein IX and platelet glycoprotein V. The binding of the GP Ib-IX-V complex to VWF facilitates initial platelet adhesion to vascular subendothelium after vascular injury, and also initiates signaling events within the platelet that lead to enhanced platelet activation, thrombosis, and hemostasis. This gene encodes the alpha subunit. Mutations in this gene result in Bernard-Soulier syndromes and platelet-type von Willebrand disease. The coding region of this gene is known to contain a polymophic variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) domain that is associated with susceptibility to nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.

CHRNE (HGNC:1966): (cholinergic receptor nicotinic epsilon subunit) Acetylcholine receptors at mature mammalian neuromuscular junctions are pentameric protein complexes composed of four subunits in the ratio of two alpha subunits to one beta, one epsilon, and one delta subunit. The acetylcholine receptor changes subunit composition shortly after birth when the epsilon subunit replaces the gamma subunit seen in embryonic receptors. Mutations in the epsilon subunit are associated with congenital myasthenic syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 41 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-4932706-CA-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-4932706-CA-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 523620.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr17-4932706-CA-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This sequence change results in a premature translational stop signal in the GP1BA gene (p.Lys35Argfs*4). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 618 amino acids of the GP1BA protein. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the C-terminus of the GP1BA protein. Other variant(s) that disrupt this region (p.Trp540*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9233564, 9639514). This suggests that variants that disrupt this region of the protein are likely to be causative of disease. This variant has been reported to affect GP1BA protein function (PMID: 8950770). This variant has been observed in an individual affected with Bernard-Soulier syndrome (PMID: 8950770). This variant is also known as Lys19Argfs in the literature. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 523620). -
