Genes affected
RAPSN (HGNC:9863): (receptor associated protein of the synapse) This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins that are receptor associated proteins of the synapse. The encoded protein contains a conserved cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation site, and plays a critical role in clustering and anchoring nicotinic acetylcholine receptors at synaptic sites by linking the receptors to the underlying postsynaptic cytoskeleton, possibly by direct association with actin or spectrin. Mutations in this gene may play a role in postsynaptic congenital myasthenic syndromes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 476121). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with congenital myasthenic syndrome (PMID: 14504330). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln124*) in the RAPSN gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in RAPSN are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17686188). -

Variant summary: RAPSN c.370C>T (p.Gln124X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250446 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.370C>T has been reported in the literature in the compound heterozygous state with a common pathogenic variant (p.N88K) in at least one individual affected with Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome (Burke_2003). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted a clinical-significance assessment for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
