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]

Submissions by phenotype

Hereditary hyperekplexia Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 30, 2024This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 131 of the GLRA1 protein (p.Glu131Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs779234204, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive hyperekplexia (PMID: 20631190; Invitae). 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 Glu103Lys. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 464187). 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 GLRA1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GLRA1 function (PMID: 28174298). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsFeb 09, 2021The c.391G>A (p.E131K) alteration is located in exon 4 (coding exon 4) of the GLRA1 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 391, causing the glutamic acid (E) at amino acid position 131 to be replaced by a lysine (K). Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) database, the GLRA1 c.391G>A alteration was observed in <0.01% (5/251486) of total alleles studied, with a frequency of 0.01% (4/34592) in the Latino subpopulation. This alteration was reported in trans with a frameshift alteration in a patient with hyperekplexia (Chung, 2010). This amino acid position is completely conserved on sequence alignment. In vitro studies have demonstrated altered channel function (Chung, 2010; Safar, 2017). The in silico prediction for the p.E131K alteration is inconclusive. Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
