Genes affected

CLCN1 (HGNC:2019): (chloride voltage-gated channel 1) The CLCN family of voltage-dependent chloride channel genes comprises nine members (CLCN1-7, Ka and Kb) which demonstrate quite diverse functional characteristics while sharing significant sequence homology. The protein encoded by this gene regulates the electric excitability of the skeletal muscle membrane. Mutations in this gene cause two forms of inherited human muscle disorders: recessive generalized myotonia congenita (Becker) and dominant myotonia (Thomsen). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 7-143341957-CCA-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-143341957-CCA-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 447055.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr539Serfs*40) in the CLCN1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CLCN1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17932099, 22094069, 23739125). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CLCN1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 447055). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
