Genes affected

COLQ (HGNC:2226): (collagen like tail subunit of asymmetric acetylcholinesterase) This gene encodes the subunit of a collagen-like molecule associated with acetylcholinesterase in skeletal muscle. Each molecule is composed of three identical subunits. Each subunit contains a proline-rich attachment domain (PRAD) that binds an acetylcholinesterase tetramer to anchor the catalytic subunit of the enzyme to the basal lamina. Mutations in this gene are associated with endplate acetylcholinesterase deficiency. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg227*) in the COLQ gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in COLQ are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 22678886). This variant is present in population databases (rs770045897, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with congenital myasthenic syndrome (PMID: 18180250, 22088788, 23553736, 25557462). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 280125). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
