Genes affected
GLRB (HGNC:4329): (glycine receptor beta) This gene encodes the beta subunit of the glycine receptor, which is a pentamer composed of alpha and beta subunits. The receptor functions as a neurotransmitter-gated ion channel, which produces hyperpolarization via increased chloride conductance due to the binding of glycine to the receptor. Mutations in this gene cause startle disease, also known as hereditary hyperekplexia or congenital stiff-person syndrome, a disease characterized by muscular rigidity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedliterature onlyOMIMApr 01, 2002- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 20, 2023This sequence change falls in intron 6 of the GLRB gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the GLRB protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs281864922, gnomAD 0.009%). This variant has been observed in individuals with clinical features of hyperekplexia (PMID: 11929858, 32911248; Invitae). This variant is also known as IVS5+5G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16059). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant alters mRNA splicing and is expected to lead to the loss of protein expression (PMID: 11929858). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
