Genes affected

CNTNAP2 (HGNC:13830): (contactin associated protein 2) This gene encodes a member of the neurexin family which functions in the vertebrate nervous system as cell adhesion molecules and receptors. This protein, like other neurexin proteins, contains epidermal growth factor repeats and laminin G domains. In addition, it includes an F5/8 type C domain, discoidin/neuropilin- and fibrinogen-like domains, thrombospondin N-terminal-like domains and a putative PDZ binding site. This protein is localized at the juxtaparanodes of myelinated axons, and mediates interactions between neurons and glia during nervous system development and is also involved in localization of potassium channels within differentiating axons. This gene encompasses almost 1.5% of chromosome 7 and is one of the largest genes in the human genome. It is directly bound and regulated by forkhead box protein P2, a transcription factor related to speech and language development. This gene has been implicated in multiple neurodevelopmental disorders, including Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, schizophrenia, epilepsy, autism, ADHD and intellectual disability.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1052 of the CNTNAP2 protein (p.Arg1052His). This variant is present in population databases (rs374739970, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CNTNAP2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 205280). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The histidine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v0.6.1, this variant is classified as 3C-VUS. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease for this gene (OMIM). 0106 - This gene is known to be associated with autosomal recessive disease (OMIM). 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from arginine to histidine (exon 19). 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD <0.01 for recessive indication. 0309 - An alternative amino acid change at the same position has been observed in gnomAD. 0503 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be tolerated OR not conserved in mammals with a minor amino acid change. 0604 - Variant is not located in an established domain, motif or hotspot. 0705 - No comparable variants in relevant codon/region have previous evidence for pathogenicity. 0807 - Variant has not previously been reported in a clinical context. 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. -

Significance:Likely benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
