Genes affected
GRIN2A (HGNC:4585): (glutamate ionotropic receptor NMDA type subunit 2A) This gene encodes a member of the glutamate-gated ion channel protein family. The encoded protein is an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subunit. NMDA receptors are both ligand-gated and voltage-dependent, and are involved in long-term potentiation, an activity-dependent increase in the efficiency of synaptic transmission thought to underlie certain kinds of memory and learning. These receptors are permeable to calcium ions, and activation results in a calcium influx into post-synaptic cells, which results in the activation of several signaling cascades. Disruption of this gene is associated with focal epilepsy and speech disorder with or without cognitive disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 716 of the GRIN2A protein (p.Ala716Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs762659685, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with epilepsy (PMID: 23933820). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 205656). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GRIN2A protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GRIN2A function (PMID: 27839871). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

p.Ala716Thr (GCC>ACC): c.2146 G>A in exon 11 of the GRIN2A gene (NM_000833.3). The A716T variant has been previously reported as a potentially deleterious variant in a family with atypical Rolandic epilepsy, verbal dyspraxia, and cognitive impairment (Lesca et al., 2013). The A716T mutation was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. A716T is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. A716T alters a highly conserved position in the extracellular domain, and in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Therefore, this variant is a strong candidate for a pathogenic mutation, however the possibility that it is a benign variant cannot be excluded. The variant is found in EPILEPSY panel(s). -

The c.2146G>A (p.A716T) alteration is located in coding exon 9 of the GRIN2A gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2146, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 716 to be replaced by a threonine (T). This allele was reported in one heterozygous individual in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This variant has been reported as a heterozygous de novo finding in multiple unrelated patients with clinical features of GRIN2A-related speech disorders and epilepsy (Li, 2020; Lee, 2021. external communications). This has also been shown to segregate with disease in a family with atypical rolandic epilepsy, verbal dyspraxia, cognitive impairment of variable degrees (Lesca, 2013). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This missense alteration is located in a region that has a low rate of benign missense variation (Lek, 2016; Firth, 2009). This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -
