Variant summary: NPRL3 c.1162-1G>C is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing and loss of NPRL3 function. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant abolishes a 3' acceptor site. Two predict the variant creates a 3' acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00017 in 147298 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.001 within the Latino subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Latino control individuals in the gnomAD database exceeds the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in NPRL3 causing Epilepsy, Familial Focal, With Variable Foci 1 phenotype. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1162-1G>C in individuals affected with Epilepsy, Familial Focal, With Variable Foci 1 and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 542800). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
