Genes affected
CHRNA1 (HGNC:1955): (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 1 subunit) The muscle acetylcholine receptor consiststs of 5 subunits of 4 different types: 2 alpha subunits and 1 each of the beta, gamma, and delta subunits. This gene encodes an alpha subunit that plays a role in acetlycholine binding/channel gating. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.

Variant summary: CHRNA1 c.280G>T (p.Gly94Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Neurotransmitter-gated ion-channel ligand binding domain (IPR006202) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251418 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.280G>T has been reported in the literature in at least one compound heterozygous individual affected with Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome with no family history of disease (e.g. Shen_2012). These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. One publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, with the variant showing significantly reduced cell surface expression in vitro, however, does not allow convincing conclusions about the variant effect (e.g. Shen_2012). The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 22728938). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 565596). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 94 of the CHRNA1 protein (p.Gly94Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs199470444, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with congenital myasthenic syndrome in the compound heterozygous state (PMID: 22728938). This variant is also known as G74C. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 565596). 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 expected to disrupt CHRNA1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CHRNA1 function (PMID: 22728938). 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. -
