Genes affected
MLC1 (HGNC:17082): (modulator of VRAC current 1) The function of this gene product is unknown; however, homology to other proteins suggests that it may be an integral membrane transporter. Mutations in this gene have been associated with megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts, an autosomal recessive neurological disorder. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The MLC1 c.274C>T (p.Pro92Ser) missense variant has been identified in a compound heterozygous state in at least three individuals with megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy, in a heterozygous state in two affected individuals in whom a second variant was not identified, and in one affected individual in whom a second variant was found but zygosity was not confirmed (Leegwater et al. 2002; Ben-Zeev et al. 2002; Montagna et al. 2006; Yuzbasioglu et al. 2011). The p.Pro92Ser variant was absent from 240 control alleles and is reported at a frequency of 0.00037 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Functional studies using HeLa and COS cells demonstrated reduced surface expression of the p.Pro92Ser-MLC1 protein compared to wild type. The variant protein was confined to late endosomes/lysosomes instead of recycling endosomes (Duarri et al. 2008). Based on the evidence, the p.Pro92Ser variant is classified as likely pathogenic for megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 92 of the MLC1 protein (p.Pro92Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908345, gnomAD 0.2%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (PMID: 11935341, 16470554, 21145992). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4719). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on MLC1 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MLC1 function (PMID: 18757878, 23793458). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: MLC1 c.274C>T (p.Pro92Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00013 in 232710 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in MLC1 causing Megalencephalic Leukoencephalopathy With Subcortical Cysts 1 (0.00013 vs 0.0011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.274C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Megalencephalic Leukoencephalopathy With Subcortical Cysts 1 (example, Leegwater_2002, Ben-Zeev_2002, Montagna_2006). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (example Duarri_2008). The most pronounced variant effect results in localization within the lysosomes after internalization from the plasma membrane. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
