Genes affected
GLRA1 (HGNC:4326): (glycine receptor alpha 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of a pentameric inhibitory glycine receptor, which mediates postsynaptic inhibition in the central nervous system. Defects in this gene are a cause of startle disease (STHE), also known as hereditary hyperekplexia or congenital stiff-person syndrome. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

Hereditary hyperekplexia Uncertain:1
Oct 24, 2024
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 353 of the GLRA1 protein (p.Lys353Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs764794082, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of autosomal recessive hyperekplexia (internal data). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 566373). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
