RCV000292791 | SCV000329301 | pathogenic | not provided | 2021-03-15 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Published functional studies found that although the R894X pathogenic variant did not inhibit transport of the protein, it destabilized the protein, possibly leading to reduced expression (Papponen et al., 2008); Published functional studies also noted that the variant greatly reduces chloride currents in vitro (Meyer-Klein et al., 1995); Nonsense variant in the C-terminus predicted to result in protein truncation, as the last 95 amino acids are lost, and other loss-of-function variants have been reported downstream in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22995991, 8845168, 10665666, 27142102, 27614575, 30824560, 32670189, 31216405, 8533761, 17990293, 22197187, 7874130, 20301529, 25508133, 23739125, 15162127, 18337100, 12661046, 8857733, 23097607, 11840191, 27296017, 28039888, 29424939, 34426522, 34008892, 33263785, 33013670, 9576553, 32528171, 34106991) |

RCV000020107 | SCV000467134 | pathogenic | Batten-Turner congenital myopathy | 2018-05-07 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The CLCN1 c.2680C>T (p.Arg894Ter) variant is a stop-gained variant that is predicted to result in premature termination of the protein. The p.Arg894Ter variant is well-described in the literature as a common pathogenic variant (Dunø et al. 2015). Across a selection of five studies, the variant was detected in a homozygous state in nine individuals, in a compound heterozygous state in 32 individuals and in a heterozygous state in 12 individuals, all affected with myotonia congenita (Meyer-Kleine et al. 1995; Papponen et al. 1999; Sun et al. 2001; Suominen et al. 2008; Rayan et al. 2012). The variant was present in 1/324 control chromosomes and is reported at a frequency of 0.03 in the Finnish in Finland population of the 1000 Genomes Project. Functional studies in Xenopus oocytes demonstrated that the variant resulted in greatly reduced choride currents compared to wild type, to a level that was intermediate between the reductions seen for a known “fully dominant†pathogenic variant, and a known “fully recessive†pathogenic variant (Meyer-Kleine et al. 1995). Experiments in L6 myotubes and isolated rat myofibers indicated that the variant did not inhibit transport of the protein but did cause reduced stability (Papponen et al. 2008). Based on the collective evidence and the potential impact of stop-gained variants, the p.Arg894Ter variant is classified as pathogenic for the autosomal recessive form of myotonia congenita. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. |
Athena Diagnostics Inc | RCV000292791 | SCV000612784 | pathogenic | not provided | 2023-07-05 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is expected to result in the loss of a functional protein. This variant is one of the most common pathogenic variants identified in myotonia congenita patients worldwide (PMID: 20301529, 11840191) and is statistically more frequent in affected individuals than in the general population and/or healthy controls (Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), Cambridge, MA (URL: http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)). This variant is reported in the literature to segregate recessively in most families; however, cases of dominant segregation are also reported (PMID: 20301529, 11840191, 15162127, 7874130). Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. (PMID: 8533761, 17107341). 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. |
Invitae | RCV000627759 | SCV000636295 | pathogenic | Congenital myotonia, autosomal recessive form; Congenital myotonia, autosomal dominant form | 2024-01-31 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg894*) in the CLCN1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 95 amino acid(s) of the CLCN1 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs55960271, gnomAD 1.7%), including at least one homozygous and/or hemizygous individual. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive myotonia congenita (PMID: 7874130, 8533761, 8845168, 11840191, 15162127, 18337730, 22094069, 22197187, 24349310, 26096614, 27142102, 27296017, 27614575). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17545). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that this premature translational stop signal affects CLCN1 function (PMID: 8533761, 17990293). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |

RCV000019099 | SCV000966882 | pathogenic | Congenital myotonia, autosomal dominant form | 2018-08-09 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.Arg894X variant in CLCN1 has been reported in >25 homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals with clinical features of myotonia congenita and segreg ated with disease in many affected relatives (Brugnoni 2013, Fialho 2007, Mazon 2012, Meyer-Kleine 1995, Neroldova 2016, Sun 2001, Tincheva 2016, Trip 2008, Zie lonka 2012). It is a common pathogenic variant in Scandinavian populations, wher e the disease prevalence is approximately 1 in 10,000 versus 1 in 100,000 worldw ide (Sun 2001). This variant has been identified in 1.63% (429/25792) of Finnish chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinst itute.org) and reported in ClinVar (Variation ID# 17545). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 894. This alteration occurs w ithin the last exon and is more likely to escape nonsense mediated decay (NMD) a nd result in a truncated protein. In vitro functional studies provide some evide nce that the p.Arg894X variant impacts protein function (Meyer-Kleine 1995). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for myotonia congenita in an autosomal recessive manner based upon segregation studies, func tional evidence and predicted impact on protein.

RCV001564017 | SCV001786716 | likely pathogenic | Tip-toe gait | 2021-03-04 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | We examined a family - two daughters and mother. Elder daughter and the mother both have Arg894* variant. Elder daughter is toe-walker. It is not known about the mother whether she had toe-walking in childhood. Younger daughter doesn't have this variant and she is not toe-walker. In the ClinVar database, it is mostly classified as likely pathogenic; 12 entries as pathogenic or probably pathogenic compared to 1 entry as VUS. The variant is described in the literature as causing myotonia congenita of the Thomsen type (autosomal dominant inherited form) and also of the Becker type (autosomal recessive inheritance) [Meyer-Kleine (1995) Am J Hum Genet 57: 1325, Zielonka (2012 ) Neuromuscul Disord 22: 355 and Tincheva (2016) Neuromuscul Disord 26: 675]. Through in-vitro analyzes it could be shown that the detected variant has a dominant-negative effect on the function of the chloride channel [Meyer-Kleine (1995) Am J Hum Genet 57: 1325], which is why c. 2680C> T p. (Arg894 *) both autosomal dominant and recessive inheritance are possible [Pusch (2002) Hum Courage 19: 423]. |

RCV000019098 | SCV002555960 | pathogenic | Congenital myotonia, autosomal recessive form | 2022-06-17 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Variant summary: CLCN1 c.2680C>T (p.Arg894X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been associated with myotonia congenita in HGMD. c.2680C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple homozygous, compound heterozygous and heterozygous individuals affected with Congenital Myotonia (Raheem_2012 and Skalova_2013). Individuals who were homozygous for this variant had reduced sarcolemmal ClC-1 expression (Raheem_2012). Functional studies in Xenopus oocytes demonstrated that the variant resulted in greatly reduced chloride currents compared to wild type (Meyer-Kleine_1995). Papponen_2008 have demonstrated that this variant did not inhibit transport of the protein but did cause reduced stability in myotubes. These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Eighteen submitters have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as VUS(n=1), likely pathogenic(n=4) and pathogenic (n=13). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. |

RCV000019098 | SCV004100819 | pathogenic | Congenital myotonia, autosomal recessive form | 2023-11-02 | criteria provided, single submitter | research | PM2_supporting: the highest population allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.01660 (1.6%; 417/25122 alleles in European Finnish population, including 5 homozygous observations) and gnomAD v3.1.2 is 0.01564 (1.6%; 166/10612 alleles in European Finnish population, including 1 homozygous observation). The heterozygous carrier frequency in gnomAD is calculated to be 0.032, i.e. 1 in 31 individuals in Finnish European population). This carrier frequency is not inconsistent with the reported high frequency of AR myotonia congenital in Scandinavia viz. 7.3 per 100 000 in Northern Finland (PMID 9598722) and 9.4 per 100 000 in Northern Norway (PMID 11840191). PVS1_moderate: nonsense variant not predicted to undergo NMD (occurs in 3' most exon 23). Role of exon 23 in protein function is unknown. At least 3 other pathogenic LOF variants in exon 23 have been identified in patients with AR myotonia congenita. This variant removes <10% of the protein. PM3_verystrong: this variant has been found in a compound heterozygous state in multiple individuals with AR myotonia congenital (>4 points). PS4 met: this variant has been described in more than 10 unrelated probands with autosomal recessive myotonia congenita (both homozygous and compound heterozygous observations) (PMID 11184019). PS3 supporting: functional studies provide supportive evidence that the variant has a damaging effect on the gene or gene product. |
