Genes affected
EFHC1 (HGNC:16406): (EF-hand domain containing 1) This gene encodes an EF-hand-containing calcium binding protein. The encoded protein likely plays a role in calcium homeostasis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with susceptibility to juvenile myoclonic epilepsy and juvenile absence epilepsy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.

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

This nonsense mutation is categorized as deleterious according to ACMG guidelines (PMID:18414213). It was found once in our laboratory paternally inherited in a 15-year-old female with intellectual disability, epilepsy (first afebrile tonic/clonic seizures at 3y, subsided until 11 years), hypotonia. Father did not have epilepsy. -

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

p.Arg538Stop (CGA>TGA): c.1612 C>T in exon 9 of the EFHC1 gene (NM_018100.3). The Arg538Stop nonsense mutation in the EFHC1 gene is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Although this mutation has not been reported previously to our knowledge, it is considered a disease-causing mutation. The variant is found in EPILEPSY panel(s). -
