Genes affected
CHAT (HGNC:1912): (choline O-acetyltransferase) This gene encodes an enzyme which catalyzes the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This gene product is a characteristic feature of cholinergic neurons, and changes in these neurons may explain some of the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital myasthenic syndrome associated with episodic apnea. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, and some of these variants have been shown to encode more than one isoform. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Familial infantile myasthenia Pathogenic:3Uncertain:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 11, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 207 of the CHAT protein (p.Arg207His). This variant is present in population databases (rs764497513, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with congenital myasthenic syndrome (PMID: 26080897). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 289944). 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 CHAT protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CHAT function (PMID: 26080897). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Congenital myasthenic syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpFeb 14, 2023Variant summary: CHAT c.620G>A (p.Arg207His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Choline/carnitine acyltransferase domain (IPR039551) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251416 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.620G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome (Arredondo_2016). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. In transfected HEK293 cells, the variant had 81% expression levels as compared to wild-type, but only 3% catalytic efficiency (Arredondo_2016). Four ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014: one classified the variant as uncertain significance, two as likely pathogenic, and one as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
