Genes affected

CHRNA4 (HGNC:1958): (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 4 subunit) This gene encodes a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, which belongs to a superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels that play a role in fast signal transmission at synapses. These pentameric receptors can bind acetylcholine, which causes an extensive change in conformation that leads to the opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. This protein is an integral membrane receptor subunit that can interact with either nAChR beta-2 or nAChR beta-4 to form a functional receptor. Mutations in this gene cause nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy type 1. Polymorphisms in this gene that provide protection against nicotine addiction have been described. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]

The R483Q variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. It was not observed with any significant frequency in approximately 6,400 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project. The R483Q variant is a semi-conservative amino acid substitution, which may impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in some properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved in mammals. However, in silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. Additionally, this amino acid substitution is not predicted to occur within the transmembrane region of the protein, where the vast majority of pathogenic missense variants have been identified in association with epilepsy (Steinlein et al., 2010). Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -
