Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points: 0P and 3B. BP4_Moderate BP6

The NM_000744.7(CHRNA4):c.1576C>T(p.Pro526Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000144 in 1,597,146 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. P526L) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

CHRNA4 (HGNC:1958): (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 4 subunit) This gene encodes a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, which belongs to a superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels that play a role in fast signal transmission at synapses. These pentameric receptors can bind acetylcholine, which causes an extensive change in conformation that leads to the opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. This protein is an integral membrane receptor subunit that can interact with either nAChR beta-2 or nAChR beta-4 to form a functional receptor. Mutations in this gene cause nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy type 1. Polymorphisms in this gene that provide protection against nicotine addiction have been described. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.14607334).

A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the CHRNA4 gene. The P524S variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. It was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The P526S variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. However, this substitution occurs at a position that is not conserved, and in silico analysis predicts this variant likely does not alter the protein structure/function. Additionally, this amino acid substitution is not predicted to occur within the transmembrane region of the protein, where the vast majority of pathogenic missense variants have been identified in association with epilepsy (Steinlein et al., 2010). Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -
