Description
p.Leu267Ile (CTC>ATC): c.799 C>A in exon 9 of the GABRA1 gene (NM_000806.5). The Leu267Ile missense change has not been published as a mutation, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. The NHLBI ESP Exome Variant Project has not identified Leu267Ile in approximately 5,000 individuals of European or African American ethnicity, indicating that it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The amino acid substitution is conservative, as Leucine and Isoleucine are both uncharged, non-polar amino acids. However, it alters a position in the first transmembrane domain that is highly conserved across species and in related proteins. Several in silico algorithms predict Leu267Ile is likely damaging to protein structure/function, while another predicts it is likely not pathogenic. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether Leu267Ile is a disease-causing mutation or a rare benign variant. The variant is found in EPILEPSY panel(s).
