Genes affected

ARHGEF9 (HGNC:14561): (Cdc42 guanine nucleotide exchange factor 9) The protein encoded by this gene is a Rho-like GTPase that switches between the active (GTP-bound) state and inactive (GDP-bound) state to regulate CDC42 and other genes. This brain-specific protein also acts as an adaptor protein for the recruitment of gephyrin and together these proteins facilitate receceptor recruitement in GABAnergic and glycinergic synapses. Defects in this gene are the cause of startle disease with epilepsy (STHEE), also known as hyperekplexia with epilepsy, as well as several other types of cognitive disability. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points.

• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.0000219 (24/1097168) while in subpopulation AMR AF= 0.0000284 (1/35159). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0000171. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 6 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 30. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
• BS2: High Hemizygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 6 XL gene

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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with ARHGEF9-related disease. This variant is present in population databases (rs781955551, ExAC 0.002%). This sequence change replaces glutamine with lysine at codon 144 of the ARHGEF9 protein (p.Gln144Lys). The glutamine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between glutamine and lysine. -
