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.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 82 of the GABRG2 protein (p.Arg82Gln). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of GABRG2-related conditions (PMID: 11326275, 31175295). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as R43Q. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16208). 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) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GABRG2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GABRG2 function (PMID: 11326275, 12097483, 15470132, 15866052, 16510738, 18094250, 25731747). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
