Genes affected

GABRA2 (HGNC:4076): (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit alpha2) GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain where it acts at GABA-A receptors, which are ligand-gated chloride channels. Chloride conductance of these channels can be modulated by agents such as benzodiazepines that bind to the GABA-A receptor. At least 16 distinct subunits of GABA-A receptors have been identified. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2013]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -12 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.97).
• BA1: GnomAd4 highest subpopulation (EAS) allele frequency at 95% confidence interval = 0.553 is higher than 0.05.
