Genes affected
GABRG2 (HGNC:4087): (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit gamma2) This gene encodes a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor. GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammlian brain, where it acts at GABA-A receptors, which are ligand-gated chloride channels. GABA-A receptors are pentameric, consisting of proteins from several subunit classes: alpha, beta, gamma, delta and rho. Mutations in this gene have been associated with epilepsy and febrile seizures. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 323 of the GABRG2 protein (p.Arg323Gln). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with GABRG2-related conditions (PMID: 23708187, 27864268, 29100083, 29358611). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 60708). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GABRG2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GABRG2 function (PMID: 27864268). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.R323Q pathogenic mutation (also known as c.968G>A), located in coding exon 8 of the GABRG2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 968. The arginine at codon 323 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been determined to be the result of a de novo mutation in two patients with epileptic encephalopathies (Carvill GL et al. Nat. Genet., 2013 Jul;45:825-30; Reinthaler EM et al. Ann. Neurol., 2015 Jun;77:972-86). Electrophysiology functional studies indicate this variant results in altered GABAA-R chloride channel kinetics (Reinthaler EM et al. Ann. Neurol., 2015 Jun;77:972-86). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
