Identified in multiple patients with epilepsy previously tested at GeneDx and in the published literature, including as a de novo variant with or without confirmed parentage (PMID: 24623842, 26918889, 27521439, 31056671, 29056246); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 24623842, 26918889, 26073591, 31440721, 31056671, 27521439, 29056246) -

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Predicted Consequence/Location: Missense changes are a common disease-causing mechanism. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product [REVEL: 0.84 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.68 and specificity 0.92); 3Cnet: 0.91 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.72 and precision 0.9)]. Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000127074 /PMID: 24623842).A different missense change at the same codon (p.Arg112Trp) has been reported to be associated with GABRA1 related disorder (ClinVar ID: VCV000947414). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
The p.R112Q pathogenic mutation (also known as c.335G>A), located in coding exon 4 of the GABRA1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 335. The arginine at codon 112 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 one individual with epileptic encephalopathy in our laboratory. In addition, this variant has been reported in two individuals in the literature with epileptic encephalopathy, one of which was reportedly de novo (Carvill GL et al. Neurology, 2014 Apr;82:1245-53). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 112 of the GABRA1 protein (p.Arg112Gln). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with a variety of seizure phenotypes including early infantile epilepsy and Dravet syndrome (PMID: 24623842, 26918889, 27521439). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127074). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on GABRA1 protein function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
