RCV000259298 | SCV000330754 | pathogenic | not provided | 2016-09-08 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The de novo M263K pathogenic variant in the GABRA1 gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. However, pathogenic missense variants at this same codon (M263T and M263I) have been reported to occur de novo in individuals with West syndrome (Kodera et al., 2016). The M263K variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The M263K variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. We interpret M263K as a pathogenic variant. |
