Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -4 ACMG points: 0P and 4B. BS2

The NM_000742.4(CHRNA2):​c.214C>T​(p.Arg72Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000136 in 1,614,062 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R72H) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

CHRNA2 (HGNC:1956): (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 2 subunit) Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are ligand-gated ion channels formed by a pentameric arrangement of alpha and beta subunits to create distinct muscle and neuronal receptors. Neuronal receptors are found throughout the peripheral and central nervous system where they are involved in fast synaptic transmission. This gene encodes an alpha subunit that is widely expressed in the brain. The proposed structure for nAChR subunits is a conserved N-terminal extracellular domain followed by three conserved transmembrane domains, a variable cytoplasmic loop, a fourth conserved transmembrane domain, and a short C-terminal extracellular region. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy type 4. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in this gene have been associated with nicotine dependence.

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. 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) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt CHRNA2 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 543519). This missense change has been observed in at least one individual who was not affected with CHRNA2-related conditions (Invitae). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CHRNA2-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs201890355, gnomAD 0.009%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 72 of the CHRNA2 protein (p.Arg72Cys). -
