Genes affected
CNTNAP2 (HGNC:13830): (contactin associated protein 2) This gene encodes a member of the neurexin family which functions in the vertebrate nervous system as cell adhesion molecules and receptors. This protein, like other neurexin proteins, contains epidermal growth factor repeats and laminin G domains. In addition, it includes an F5/8 type C domain, discoidin/neuropilin- and fibrinogen-like domains, thrombospondin N-terminal-like domains and a putative PDZ binding site. This protein is localized at the juxtaparanodes of myelinated axons, and mediates interactions between neurons and glia during nervous system development and is also involved in localization of potassium channels within differentiating axons. This gene encompasses almost 1.5% of chromosome 7 and is one of the largest genes in the human genome. It is directly bound and regulated by forkhead box protein P2, a transcription factor related to speech and language development. This gene has been implicated in multiple neurodevelopmental disorders, including Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, schizophrenia, epilepsy, autism, ADHD and intellectual disability.

Cortical dysplasia-focal epilepsy syndrome Uncertain:2
Aug 23, 2022
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 494 of the CNTNAP2 protein (p.Glu494Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs149032771, gnomAD 0.07%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CNTNAP2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 205245). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1480G>A (p.E494K) alteration is located in exon 9 (coding exon 9) of the CNTNAP2 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1480, causing the glutamic acid (E) at amino acid position 494 to be replaced by a lysine (K). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

CNTNAP2-related disorder Uncertain:1
Nov 10, 2023
PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The CNTNAP2 c.1480G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Glu494Lys. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.069% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/7-146997364-G-A). Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
