Genes affected
CLCN1 (HGNC:2019): (chloride voltage-gated channel 1) The CLCN family of voltage-dependent chloride channel genes comprises nine members (CLCN1-7, Ka and Kb) which demonstrate quite diverse functional characteristics while sharing significant sequence homology. The protein encoded by this gene regulates the electric excitability of the skeletal muscle membrane. Mutations in this gene cause two forms of inherited human muscle disorders: recessive generalized myotonia congenita (Becker) and dominant myotonia (Thomsen). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]

Reported previously in the heterozygous state in a patient with severe ataxia, nausea, vomiting, and nystagmus; however, patient also harbored a variant of uncertain significance in another gene that could possibly be contributing to the phenotype (PMID: 32466254); Frameshift variant predicted to result in abnormal protein length as the last 44 amino acid(s) are replaced with 38 different amino acid(s), and other similar variants have been reported in HGMD; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 32466254, 18337100) -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant is expected to result in a shift of the reading frame and a premature stop codon. Since this variant is located in the last exon of the gene, variant-containing transcripts likely escape nonsense-mediated decay. This variant has been reported in multiple families with autosomal recessive myotonia congenita in published literature and internal data (PMID: 18337100, Athena Diagnostics internal data). This variant is also referred to as 2828insC in published literature. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly945Argfs*39) in the CLCN1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 44 amino acid(s) of the CLCN1 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs755176513, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive myotonia congenita (PMID: 18337100; internal data). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is also known as c.2828insC. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 280103). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
