Genes affected
CHAT (HGNC:1912): (choline O-acetyltransferase) This gene encodes an enzyme which catalyzes the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This gene product is a characteristic feature of cholinergic neurons, and changes in these neurons may explain some of the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital myasthenic syndrome associated with episodic apnea. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, and some of these variants have been shown to encode more than one isoform. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Submissions by phenotype

not provided Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxSep 07, 2017The c.1840-9 A>G variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. It was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Several in silico prediction models predict c.1840-9 A>G may create a new splice acceptor site in intron 13 and lead to abnormal gene splicing. However, in the absence of RNA/functional studies the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown. -
not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpApr 04, 2024Variant summary: CHAT c.1840-9A>G alters a non-conserved nucleotide located at a position not widely known to affect splicing. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Three predict the variant weakens a 3' canonical acceptor site, and four predict the variant strengthens a 3' cryptic acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251380 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1840-9A>G has been reported in the literature in at least one compound heterozygous individual affected with Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome (e.g., Dhasakeerthi_2021). However, this data does not allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 34431804). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 432145). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
Familial infantile myasthenia Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJun 27, 2022This sequence change falls in intron 13 of the CHAT gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the CHAT protein. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.002%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of congenital myasthenic syndrome (Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 432145). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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. -
