This variant is interpreted as a Likely Pathogenic, for Epileptic encephalopathy, early infantile, 56, Autosomal Dominant inheritance. The following ACMG Tag(s) were applied: PP3 => Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product. PM6 => Assumed de novo, but without confirmation of paternity and maternity (PMID:28777935). PM2 => Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive) in Exome Sequencing Project, 1000 Genomes Project, or Exome Aggregation Consortium. PS4-Moderate => PS4 downgraded in strength to Moderate (PMID:28777935). PM1 => Located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical and well-established functional domain (e.g., active site of an enzyme) without benign variation (PMID:28777935) (http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P61981#showFeaturesTable). -
not provided Pathogenic:3
Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 33767733, 28777935, 28135719, 31164858, 33393734, 31926053, 33349918, 32725632, 31785789, 36243722, 35888005, 34915349, 33619735) -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 132 of the YWHAG protein (p.Arg132Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of YWHAG-related conditions (PMID: 28777935, 31926053). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 438804). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt YWHAG protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
The c.394C>T (p.R132C) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the YWHAG gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 394, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 132 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This variant was reported de novo in multiple individuals with features consistent with YWHAG-related developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (Deciphering Developmental Disorders, 2017; Guella, 2017; Kanani, 2020; Cetica, 2024). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This missense alteration is located in a region that has a low rate of benign missense variation (Lek, 2016; Firth, 2009). This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
YWHAG-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The YWHAG c.394C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg132Cys. This variant has been documented as a recurrent de novo variant in multiple individuals with early onset epileptic encephalopathy (See for example - Guella et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28777935; Demos et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31164858; Kanani et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 31926053). Additionally, a different missense variant affecting this amino acid (p.Arg132His) has been documented to be pathogenic (Brunet et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 33619735). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
