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]

Published functional studies demonstrate a weak dominant negative effect and alteration of channel gating properties (PMID: 12456816); Reported as a heterozygous variant in patients with myotonia in published literature (PMID: 7581380, 32670189); Reported in a heterozygous state in a patient with a neuromuscular disease whose family history was consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance; however phenotype information and segregation data was not provided (PMID: 33263785); Reported in a patient with a neuromuscular disease and a family history consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance who also harbored a second CLCN1 variant; however, phenotype and segregation data were not provided (PMID: 33263785); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 18579381, 12210360, 18263754, 27324117, 8533761, 10619717, 11840191, 11933197, 24349310, 15786415, 9736777, 8845168, 12456818, 32670189, 33263785, 12456816, 7581380) -

The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity, and in our internal patient population, this variant is statistically more frequent than in the general population, which is evidence it may be disease causing (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has been reported in multiple individuals and at least one family with autosomal dominant myotonia congenita (PMID: 32670189, 33263785, 7581380), however, it has also been reported in individuals with possible autosomal recessive myotonia congenita (PMID: 33263785). Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. Variant shifted voltage dependence of current activation to more positive voltages (PMID:12456816,8845168). In multiple individuals, this variant has been seen with a single recessive pathogenic variant in the same gene, suggesting this variant may also be pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 552 of the CLCN1 protein (p.Gln552Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of autosomal dominant myotonia congenita (PMID: 7581380; internal data). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17538). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt CLCN1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CLCN1 function (PMID: 8845168, 12456816). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
