Genes affected
MLC1 (HGNC:17082): (modulator of VRAC current 1) The function of this gene product is unknown; however, homology to other proteins suggests that it may be an integral membrane transporter. Mutations in this gene have been associated with megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts, an autosomal recessive neurological disorder. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts 1 Pathogenic:2Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingMyriad Genetics, Inc.Nov 08, 2021NM_015166.3(MLC1):c.240G>A(M80I) is a missense variant classified as a variant of uncertain significance in the context of megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts. M80I has been observed in cases with relevant disease (PMID: 16652334). Functional assessments of this variant are not available in the literature. M80I has been observed in population frequency databases (gnomAD: AMR 0.01%). In summary, there is insufficient evidence to classify NM_015166.3(MLC1):c.240G>A(M80I) as pathogenic or benign. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingVictorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research InstituteMay 21, 2020A homozygous missense variant was identified, NM_015166.3(MLC1):c.240G>A in exon 3 of 12 of the MLC1 gene. This substitution is predicted to create a minor amino acid change from a methionine to an isoleucine at position 80 of the protein, NP_055981.1(MLC1):p.(Met80Ile). The methionine at this position has very high conservation (100 vertebrates, UCSC), but is not situated in a known functional domain. In silico software predicts this variant to be damaging (Polyphen, SIFT, CADD, Mutation Taster). The variant is present in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.0004% (1 heterozygote, 0 homozygotes). The variant has previously been reported in two patients with megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (ClinVar, Ilja Boor, P., et al. (2006)). A different variant in the same codon resulting in a change to a valine, p.(Met80Val), has also been reported in a patient with the same condition (Montagna, G. et al. (2006). Based on information available at the time of curation, this variant has been classified as LIKELY PATHOGENIC. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJun 25, 2022This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 80 of the MLC1 protein (p.Met80Ile). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (PMID: 16652334; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 68790). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. This variant disrupts the p.Met80 amino acid residue in MLC1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with MLC1-related conditions (PMID: 16470554), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpApr 02, 2024Variant summary: MLC1 c.240G>A (p.Met80Ile) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251256 control chromosomes. c.240G>A has been reported in the literature as a homozygous genotype in at-least one individual affected with features of Megalencephalic Leukoencephalopathy With Subcortical Cysts 1 (example, Boor_2006 cited in Batool_2022). The same study also reports a non-informative heterozygous genotype in at-least one unrelated affected individual. These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 34918859, 16652334, 23079554). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 68790). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
