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]

This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (PMID: 12939431, 27264811). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 548493). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 2 of the MLC1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in MLC1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11254442, 16470554, 24824219).
