Genes affected

CLCN4 (HGNC:2022): (chloride voltage-gated channel 4) 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. Chloride channel 4 has an evolutionary conserved CpG island and is conserved in both mouse and hamster. This gene is mapped in close proximity to APXL (Apical protein Xenopus laevis-like) and OA1 (Ocular albinism type I), which are both located on the human X chromosome at band p22.3. The physiological role of chloride channel 4 remains unknown but may contribute to the pathogenesis of neuronal disorders. Alternate splicing results in two transcript variants that encode different proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 13 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in gene, where missense usually causes diseases (based on misZ statistic), CLCN4. . Gene score misZ 4.5166 (greater than the threshold 3.09). GenCC has associacion of gene with non-syndromic X-linked intellectual disability, intellectual disability, X-linked 49.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.905
• PP5: Variant X-10220837-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-10220837-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 209116.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chrX-10220837-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	3billion	Jan 03, 2022	The variant has been previously reported as de novo in a similarly affected individual (PMID: 26633542, PS2_S). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000209116, PMID:26633542, PS1_S). A different missense change at the same codon has been reported to be associated with CLCN4 related disorder (ClinVar ID: VCV000521940, PM5_P). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.874, PP3_P). A missense variant is a common mechanism associated with Raynaud-Claes syndrome (PP2_P). It is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (PM2_M). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	May 31, 2023	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CLCN4 function (PMID: 27550844). 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 CLCN4 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 209116). This variant is also known as p.R624W. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with CLCN4-related disease (PMID: 26633542, 27550844, 29314583). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 718 of the CLCN4 protein (p.Arg718Trp). -
