Genes affected

GABRB2 (HGNC:4082): (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit beta2) The gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor is a multisubunit chloride channel that mediates the fastest inhibitory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. This gene encodes GABA A receptor, beta 2 subunit. It is mapped to chromosome 5q34 in a cluster comprised of genes encoding alpha 1 and gamma 2 subunits of the GABA A receptor. Alternative splicing of this gene generates 2 transcript variants, differing by a 114 bp insertion. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 15 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in gene, where missense usually causes diseases (based on misZ statistic), GABRB2. . Gene score misZ 3.3968 (greater than the threshold 3.09). Trascript score misZ 4.0905 (greater than threshold 3.09). GenCC has associacion of gene with undetermined early-onset epileptic encephalopathy, epileptic encephalopathy, infantile or early childhood, 2.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.943
• PP5: Variant 5-161331083-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-161331083-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 464940.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Arg293 amino acid residue in GABRB2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 29100083). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GABRB2 function (PMID: 27622563). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on GABRB2 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 464940). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of GABRB2-related conditions and/or developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (PMID: 27622563, 32533790, 33325057). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 293 of the GABRB2 protein (p.Arg293Trp). -
