Genes affected

CHRNA2 (HGNC:1956): (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 2 subunit) Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are ligand-gated ion channels formed by a pentameric arrangement of alpha and beta subunits to create distinct muscle and neuronal receptors. Neuronal receptors are found throughout the peripheral and central nervous system where they are involved in fast synaptic transmission. This gene encodes an alpha subunit that is widely expressed in the brain. The proposed structure for nAChR subunits is a conserved N-terminal extracellular domain followed by three conserved transmembrane domains, a variable cytoplasmic loop, a fourth conserved transmembrane domain, and a short C-terminal extracellular region. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy type 4. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in this gene have been associated with nicotine dependence.

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 329 of the CHRNA2 protein (p.Gly329Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs56371471, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CHRNA2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 476997). 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 not expected to disrupt CHRNA2 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. -
