Genes affected
STXBP1 (HGNC:11444): (syntaxin binding protein 1) This gene encodes a syntaxin-binding protein. The encoded protein appears to play a role in release of neurotransmitters via regulation of syntaxin, a transmembrane attachment protein receptor. Mutations in this gene have been associated with infantile epileptic encephalopathy-4. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Predicted Consequence/Location: Missense changes are a common disease-causing mechanism. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product [REVEL: 0.94 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.68 and specificity 0.92); 3Cnet: 0.96 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.72 and precision 0.9)]. Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change and different missense changes at the same codon (p.Arg406Cys, p.Arg406Gly, p.Arg406Leu / ClinVar ID: VCV000207431, VCV000419223, VCV000812768 / PMID: 26648591, 32581362) have been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000279904 /PMID: 20887364). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

The missense variant c.1217G>A p.Arg406His in STXBP1 gene has been reported in heterozygous state in multiple individuals with early-onset epileptic encephalopathy Benson KA, et al., 2020, Zhu B, et al., 2020. Experimental studies show that STXBP1 protein levels of this variant is reduced to 20-30% of wild-type, suggesting the variant results in STXBP1 protein instability Zhu B, et al., 2020. The variant is novel not in any individuals in gnomAD Exomes and 1000 Genomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic. The amino acid Arginine at position 406 is changed to a Histidine changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. The variant is predicted to be damaging by SIFT. The amino acid change p.Arg406His in STXBP1 is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Published functional studies in humanized Caenorhabditis elegans demonstrate significantly reduced and irregular pharyngeal pumping (an indicator of neuromuscular synaptic transmission), and STXBP1 protein levels reduced to 20-30% of wild-type, suggesting the variant results in STXBP1 protein instability (PMID: 32112430); Missense variants in this gene are often considered pathogenic (HGMD); Not observed in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26865513, 24189369, 21762454, 32238909, 28191889, 33332765, 30266908, McCormick2021[BioRxiv], 29929108, 29896790, 34120799, 35007884, 25714420, 23934111, 26648591, 29191246, 29186148, 30842224, 33004838, 35851549, 31440721, 36482122, 33057194, 35982159, 20887364, 27171548, 32112430) -

Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 406 of the STXBP1 protein (p.Arg406His). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with early-onset epileptic encephalopathy (PMID: 20887364, 21762454, 23934111, 25714420, 26514728). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 279904). 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 STXBP1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
