Genes affected

SYNGAP1 (HGNC:11497): (synaptic Ras GTPase activating protein 1) This gene encodes a Ras GTPase activating protein that is a member of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor complex. The N-terminal domain of the protein contains a Ras-GAP domain, a pleckstrin homology domain, and a C2 domain that may be involved in binding of calcium and phospholipids. The C-terminal domain consists of a ten histidine repeat region, serine and tyrosine phosphorylation sites, and a T/SXV motif required for postsynaptic scaffold protein interaction. The encoded protein negatively regulates Ras, Rap and alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor trafficking to the postsynaptic membrane to regulate synaptic plasticity and neuronal homeostasis. Allelic variants of this gene are associated with intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2016]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Oct 13, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly391Glnfs*27) in the SYNGAP1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in SYNGAP1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23161826, 23708187, 26989088). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of SYNGAP1-related conditions (PMID: 30455457, 30541864, 31395010, 33639450). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 411566). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Victorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research Institute	Dec 21, 2023	Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with intellectual developmental disorder 5 (MIM#612621). (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. (I) 0201 - Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein (premature termination codon is located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0701 - Other NMD predicted variants comparable to the one identified in this case have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity (DECIPHER). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been reported many times as pathogenic and once as likely pathogenic (ClinVar). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

The c.1167_1168delAG (p.G391Qfs*27) alteration, located in coding exon 8 of the SYNGAP1 gene, consists of a deletion of 2 nucleotides from position 1167 to 1168, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon after 27 amino acids. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This variant has been reported in multiple children with seizures and cognitive impairment (Jimenez-Gomez, 2019; Pode-Shakked, 2021). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
