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.

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v4.0.0 dataset (total allele frequency: <0.001%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Missense variant Functional studies provide supporting evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 35486215). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product [REVEL: 0.72 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.68 and specificity 0.92); 3Cnet: 0.69 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.72 and precision 0.9)]. Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000379114 /PMID: 33391346).The variant has been observed in multiple (>3) similarly affected unrelated individuals (PMID: 31440721, 33726816, 35486215).A different missense change at the same codon (p.Thr90Arg) has been reported to be associated with GABRG2 -related disorder (PMID: 34095830). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 90 of the GABRG2 protein (p.Thr90Met). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of GABRG2-related conditions (PMID: 33391346; Invitae). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 379114). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GABRG2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Published functional studies demonstrate that this variant significantly impairs cell trafficking and causes GABRG2 subunits to be retained in the endoplasmic reticulum, resulting in decreased surface expression and reduced peak currents (PMID: 35486215); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 33726816, 34095830, 35605087, 31440721, 35359574, 35486215, 33391346) -
