Genes affected
GLRA1 (HGNC:4326): (glycine receptor alpha 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of a pentameric inhibitory glycine receptor, which mediates postsynaptic inhibition in the central nervous system. Defects in this gene are a cause of startle disease (STHE), also known as hereditary hyperekplexia or congenital stiff-person syndrome. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 307 of the GLRA1 protein (p.Tyr307Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant hyperekplexia (PMID: 7611730, 11389164; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16063). 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 GLRA1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GLRA1 function (PMID: 9009272). This variant disrupts the p.Tyr307 amino acid residue in GLRA1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with GLRA1-related conditions (PMID: 16236274), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
