RCV000227033 | SCV000285625 | uncertain significance | Epilepsy, childhood absence, susceptibility to, 1; Epilepsy, childhood absence, susceptibility to, 5 | 2016-09-11 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | A gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing the full coding sequence of the GABRB3 gene has been identified. The boundaries of this event are unknown as the deletion extends beyond the assayed region for this gene and therefore may encompass additional genes. A gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing the GABRB3 gene has been previously described in individuals affected with Angelman syndrome (PMID: 11198279). In each of these cases, however, the deletion event also spanned the entire coding sequence of the UBE3A gene. To date, all previously described pathogenic mutations in the GABRB3 gene has been missense mutations or in-frame codon gains. The impact of a whole gene loss is uncertain. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. |
