Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2

The NM_000744.7(CHRNA4):​c.1401C>A​(p.Ser467Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000725 in 1,379,608 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Uncertain significance in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. S467N) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

CHRNA4 (HGNC:1958): (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 4 subunit) This gene encodes a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, which belongs to a superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels that play a role in fast signal transmission at synapses. These pentameric receptors can bind acetylcholine, which causes an extensive change in conformation that leads to the opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. This protein is an integral membrane receptor subunit that can interact with either nAChR beta-2 or nAChR beta-4 to form a functional receptor. Mutations in this gene cause nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy type 1. Polymorphisms in this gene that provide protection against nicotine addiction have been described. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]
