Genes affected
NHLRC1 (HGNC:21576): (NHL repeat containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a single subunit E3 ubiquitin ligase. Laforin is polyubiquitinated by the encoded protein. Defects in this intronless gene lead to an accumulation of laforin and onset of Lafora disease, also known as progressive myoclonic epilepsy type 2 (EPM2).[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity. Found in at least one patient with expected phenotype for this gene. Predicted to have a damaging effect on the protein. Located in potentially critical domain of the protein. In multiple individuals, this variant has been seen with a single recessive pathogenic variant in the same gene, suggesting this variant may also be pathogenic. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. -

Affects the RING finger domain and reported as the most common pathogenic variant observed in the NHLRC1 gene (PMID: 16311711); Published functional studies of P69A demonstrate impairment of malin's interaction with laforin resulting in abnormal accumulation of intracellular glycogen (PMID: 15930137, 18029386, 21505799); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21505799, 28556688, 18029386, 15930137, 12958597, 20738377, 16134145, 19744044, 18256682, 15781812, 16529633, 20301563, 29431110, 33773408, 31589614, 31440721, 31758957, 31858178, 25270369, 31227012, 36638890, 33368637, 16311711, 35184210, 36210672) -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 69 of the NHLRC1 protein (p.Pro69Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs28940576, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Lafora disease (PMID: 12958597, 16529633, 18256682, 19744044, 21505799, 22815132). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2587). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt NHLRC1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects NHLRC1 function (PMID: 15930137, 18029386, 21505799). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The NHLRC1 c.205C>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro69Ala. This variant has been reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous states in multiple individuals with Lafora disease (Chan et al. 2003. PubMed ID: 12958597; Franceschetti et al. 2006. PubMed ID: 16529633; Romá-Mateo et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22815132). Functional studies showed this variant is detrimental and leads to intracellular glycogen accumulation (Gentry et al. 2005. PubMed ID: 15930137; Couarch et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21505799). This variant is reported in 0.019% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
