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.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in GABRG2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 22539854, 22750526, 24407264). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with GABRG2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 408213). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys342Phefs*50) in the GABRG2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
