Genes affected
CNTNAP1 (HGNC:8011): (contactin associated protein 1) The gene product was initially identified as a 190-kD protein associated with the contactin-PTPRZ1 complex. The 1,384-amino acid protein, also designated p190 or CASPR for 'contactin-associated protein,' includes an extracellular domain with several putative protein-protein interaction domains, a putative transmembrane domain, and a 74-amino acid cytoplasmic domain. Northern blot analysis showed that the gene is transcribed predominantly in brain as a transcript of 6.2 kb, with weak expression in several other tissues tested. The architecture of its extracellular domain is similar to that of neurexins, and this protein may be the signaling subunit of contactin, enabling recruitment and activation of intracellular signaling pathways in neurons.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys968Phefs*11) in the CNTNAP1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CNTNAP1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 24319099). This variant is present in population databases (rs751050956, ExAC 0.004%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with CNTNAP1-related conditions (PMID: 24319099, 31397905). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 204313).

This frameshifting variant is predicted to result in a premature stop codon and is therefore considered a loss-of-function mutation. This variant has been previously reported as a homozygous change in three siblings with arthrogryposis, hypotonia, respiratory distress, and feeding difficulties (PMID: 24319099). It is present as a heterozygous change in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.003% (7/277236). Based on the available evidence, the c.2901_2902delCT (p.Cys968PhefsTer11) variant is classified as a pathogenic change.

Variant summary: CNTNAP1 c.2901_2902delCT (p.Cys968PhefsX11) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which is a commonly known mechanism for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 251486 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.2901_2902delCT has been reported in the literature in an individual(s) affected with Neuropathy, Congenital Hypomyelinating, 3 who was compound heterozygous with a pathogenic gross deletion variant (Bowling_2022). The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 34930662). Five submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

The c.2901_2902del;p.(Cys968Phefs*11) is a null frameshift variant (NMD) in the CNTNAP1 gene and predicts alteration of the nonsense-mediate decay - NMD is present in a relevantexon to the transcript -PVS1. This sequence change has been observed in affected individual(s) and ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (ClinVar ID: 204313; OMIM: 602346.0003; PMID: 24319099) - PS4_moderate. This variant is not present in population databases (rs751050956, gnomAD; ABraOM no frequency - http://abraom.ib.usp.br/) - PM2. The p.(Cys968Phefs*11) was detected in trans with a pathogenic variant (PMID: 24319099) - PM3.The variant co-segregated with disease in multiple affected family members (PMID: 24319099) - PP1_strong. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic.
