Genes affected

GABRG2 (HGNC:4087): (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit gamma2) This gene encodes a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor. GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammlian brain, where it acts at GABA-A receptors, which are ligand-gated chloride channels. GABA-A receptors are pentameric, consisting of proteins from several subunit classes: alpha, beta, gamma, delta and rho. Mutations in this gene have been associated with epilepsy and febrile seizures. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 17 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a topological_domain Extracellular (size 233) in uniprot entity GBRG2_HUMAN there are 9 pathogenic changes around while only 2 benign (82%) in NM_198904.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in gene, where missense usually causes diseases (based on misZ statistic), GABRG2. . Gene score misZ 2.9939 (greater than the threshold 3.09). Trascript score misZ 3.9213 (greater than threshold 3.09). GenCC has associacion of gene with epilepsy, Dravet syndrome, undetermined early-onset epileptic encephalopathy, generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus, developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 74, febrile seizures, familial, 8, childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.976
• PP5: Variant 5-162104026-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-162104026-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 433102.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 257 of the GABRG2 protein (p.Gly257Arg). This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 6, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of GABRG2-related conditions (PMID: 25726841; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 433102). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GABRG2 function (PMID: 25726841). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
