Genes affected

SLC18A3 (HGNC:10936): (solute carrier family 18 member A3) This gene is a member of the vesicular amine transporter family. The encoded transmembrane protein transports acetylcholine into secretory vesicles for release into the extracellular space. Acetylcholine transport utilizes a proton gradient established by a vacuolar ATPase. This gene is located within the first intron of the choline acetyltransferase gene.

CHAT (HGNC:1912): (choline O-acetyltransferase) This gene encodes an enzyme which catalyzes the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This gene product is a characteristic feature of cholinergic neurons, and changes in these neurons may explain some of the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital myasthenic syndrome associated with episodic apnea. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, and some of these variants have been shown to encode more than one isoform. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

Congenital myasthenic syndrome 21 Pathogenic:1 Uncertain:1

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	literature only	OMIM	Dec 06, 2016	- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	research	Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard	May 27, 2020	The heterozygous p.Gly186Ala variant in SLC18A3 was identified by our study, in the compound heterozygous state, along with a pathogenic deletion, in an individual with autosomal recessive congenital myasthenic syndrome (PMID: 27590285). It is of note that the deletion spans across at least 5 genes including SLC18A3. The p.Gly186Ala variant has been reported pathogenic by OMIM in ClinVar (Variation ID: 372159) and was absent from large population studies. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine impact. Furthermore, although this gene has been reported in association with congenital myasthenic syndrome, it currently has moderate evidence for these associations. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Gly186Ala variant is uncertain. -
