Genes affected
CHRNG (HGNC:1967): (cholinergic receptor nicotinic gamma subunit) The mammalian muscle-type acetylcholine receptor is a transmembrane pentameric glycoprotein with two alpha subunits, one beta, one delta, and one epsilon (in adult skeletal muscle) or gamma (in fetal and denervated muscle) subunit. This gene, which encodes the gamma subunit, is expressed prior to the thirty-third week of gestation in humans. The gamma subunit of the acetylcholine receptor plays a role in neuromuscular organogenesis and ligand binding and disruption of gamma subunit expression prevents the correct localization of the receptor in cell membranes. Mutations in this gene cause Escobar syndrome and a lethal form of multiple pterygium syndrome. Muscle-type acetylcholine receptor is the major antigen in the autoimmune disease myasthenia gravis.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpFeb 15, 2023Variant summary: CHRNG c.715C>T (p.Arg239Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Neurotransmitter-gated ion-channel ligand-binding domain (IPR006202) of the encoded protein sequence, altering a highly conserved residue (HGMD, Hoffmann_2006). 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 1.6e-05 in 251486 control chromosomes. c.715C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Escobar syndrome and arthrogryposis with evidence of cosegregation (Bayram_2016, Hoffmann_2006, Laquerriere_2014, Marinakis_2021), and at least one patient was reported as compound heterozygous with another likely pathogenic variant. 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, finding no AChR expression at the cellular surface when transfecting HEK cells with a construct carrying the variant (Hoffmann_2006). Two submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and both classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 16, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 239 of the CHRNG protein (p.Arg239Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs121912670, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with CHRNG-related conditions (PMID: 16826520, 24319099, 26752647, 29054425, 30868735). This variant is also known as p.Arg217Cys. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 18337). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt CHRNG protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CHRNG function (PMID: 16826520). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
