Congenital myasthenic syndrome 4C Pathogenic:1
The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Predicted Consequence/Location: Missense variant Functional studies provide supporting evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 11408331). In silico tool predictions suggest a damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product [REVEL: 0.77 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.68 and specificity 0.92); 3Cnet: 0.69 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.72 and precision 0.9)]. The same nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid change has been previously reported to be associated with CHRNE related disorder (ClinVar ID: VCV000465851 /PMID: 11408331). The variant has been reported to co-segregate with the disease in at least one similarly affected relative/individual in the same family or similarly affected unrelated family (PMID: 11408331). A different missense change at the same codon (p.Pro351Arg) has been reported to be associated with CHRNE related disorder (ClinVar ID: VCV002577839). Therefore, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
CHRNE-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The CHRNE c.1052C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro351Leu. This variant, described as p.Pro331Leu based on legacy nomenclature, was reported in the homozygous state in two affected siblings with congenital myasthenic syndrome (Croxen et al. 2001. PubMed ID: 11408331). In expression studies, the p.Pro351Leu substitution was reported to severely reduce surface expression of acetylcholine receptor (Croxen et al. 2001. PubMed ID: 11408331). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), although it should be noted that coverage of this region is absent in the gnomAD exome dataset and therefore allele frequency data may be not be accurate. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
Congenital myasthenic syndrome Pathogenic:1
Variant summary: CHRNE c.1052C>T (p.Pro351Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change to a highly conserved residue (HGMD) located in the Neurotransmitter-gated ion-channel transmembrane domain (IPR006029) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 131104 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1052C>T has been reported in the literature in related homozygous individuals affected with Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome and AChR deficiency, showing evidence of cosegregation with disease in this family (Croxen_2001). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, finding that HEK293 cells expressing the epsilon-subunit with the variant lack the ability to bind alpha-Bungarotoxin, and that the protein fails to incorporate into the surface AChR complex (Croxen_2001). The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 11408331). One submitter has cited a clinical-significance assessment for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and has classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Congenital myasthenic syndrome 4A Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces proline with leucine at codon 351 of the CHRNE protein (p.Pro351Leu). The proline residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between proline and leucine. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate insufficient coverage at this position in the ExAC database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS) (PMID: 11408331). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as c.992C>T; p.P331L. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CHRNE function (PMID: 11408331). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
