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]

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

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 536 of the CLCN1 protein (p.Val536Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs777685454, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive myotonia congenita and late onset myotonia (PMID: 23152584, 29405036; Invitae). 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: 447054). 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) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt CLCN1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Val536 amino acid residue in CLCN1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with CLCN1-related conditions (PMID: 24304580), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Reported in a heterozygous state in an individual with a personal and family history of myotonia congenita (PMID: 28325641); Reported in patients with myotonia who also harbored as second CLCN1 variant, phase unknown (PMID: 23152584, 34529042); In silico analysis indicates that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23152584, 31589614, 29405036, 34529042, 24304580, 28325641) -

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

The CLCN1 c.1606G>A (p.Val536Ile) variant has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive myotonia congenita and late onset myotonia (Raheem O et al, Ferese R et al). This p.Val536Ile variant has allele frequency of 0.002829% in the gnomAD and novel (not in any individuals) in 1000 genome database. It has been submitted to ClinVar with varying interpretations: Pathogenic/ Likely Pathogenic. The amino acid Val at position 536 is changed to a Ile changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. The amino acid change p.Val536Ile in CLCN1 is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
