Genes affected

CHRNA4 (HGNC:1958): (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 4 subunit) This gene encodes a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, which belongs to a superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels that play a role in fast signal transmission at synapses. These pentameric receptors can bind acetylcholine, which causes an extensive change in conformation that leads to the opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. This protein is an integral membrane receptor subunit that can interact with either nAChR beta-2 or nAChR beta-4 to form a functional receptor. Mutations in this gene cause nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy type 1. Polymorphisms in this gene that provide protection against nicotine addiction have been described. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -14 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-1.0).
• BP6: Variant 20-63359526-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr20-63359526-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Benign]. Clinvar id is 1251570.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr20-63359526-C-T is described in Lovd as [Benign].
• BA1: GnomAd4 highest subpopulation (SAS) allele frequency at 95% confidence interval = 0.153 is higher than 0.05.
