Genes affected

GLRA1 (HGNC:4326): (glycine receptor alpha 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of a pentameric inhibitory glycine receptor, which mediates postsynaptic inhibition in the central nervous system. Defects in this gene are a cause of startle disease (STHE), also known as hereditary hyperekplexia or congenital stiff-person syndrome. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chrnull-null-null-null is described in UniProt as null.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.993
• PP5: Variant 5-151851565-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-151851565-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 38329.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 246 of the GLRA1 protein (p.Arg246Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs281864916, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hyperekplexia (PMID: 12746425). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. This variant is also known as R218Q. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38329). 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 GLRA1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
