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.

Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy Pathogenic:1Uncertain:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingBaylor GeneticsSep 01, 2017This 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaDec 06, 2018The EFHC1 c.1612C>T (p.Arg538Ter) variant is a stop gained variant predicted to result in premature termination of the protein. The p.Arg538Ter variant has not been reported in the literature in association with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. Control data are unavailable for this variant, which is found at a frequency of 0.0004961 in the Ashkenazi Jewish population of the Genome Aggregation Database. Based on the potential impact of stop-gained variants and the lack of clarifying evidence, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance but suspicious for pathogenicity for juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJan 17, 2013p.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). -
