Genes affected

CHRNA4 (HGNC:1958): (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 4 subunit) This gene encodes a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, which belongs to a superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels that play a role in fast signal transmission at synapses. These pentameric receptors can bind acetylcholine, which causes an extensive change in conformation that leads to the opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. This protein is an integral membrane receptor subunit that can interact with either nAChR beta-2 or nAChR beta-4 to form a functional receptor. Mutations in this gene cause nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy type 1. Polymorphisms in this gene that provide protection against nicotine addiction have been described. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -7 ACMG points.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.12420726).

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.0000789 (12/152082) while in subpopulation AMR AF= 0.000655 (10/15272). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000354. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 4 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

BS2

High AC in GnomAd at 12 AD gene.

The p.K439T variant (also known as c.1316A>C), located in coding exon 5 of the CHRNA4 gene, results from an A to C substitution at nucleotide position 1316. The lysine at codon 439 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
