Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5

The NM_014191.4(SCN8A):​c.667A>G​(p.Arg223Gly) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R223Q) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

SCN8A (HGNC:10596): (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 8) This gene encodes a member of the sodium channel alpha subunit gene family. The encoded protein forms the ion pore region of the voltage-gated sodium channel. This protein is essential for the rapid membrane depolarization that occurs during the formation of the action potential in excitable neurons. Mutations in this gene are associated with cognitive disability, pancerebellar atrophy and ataxia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 4 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 5 uncertain in NM_014191.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr12-51688812-G-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 665356.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the SCN8A gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 213 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 45 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.78755 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 10.278 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to myoclonus, familial, 2, developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 13, undetermined early-onset epileptic encephalopathy, benign familial infantile epilepsy, complex neurodevelopmental disorder, seizures, benign familial infantile, 5, cognitive impairment with or without cerebellar ataxia, infantile convulsions and choreoathetosis.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.981
• PP5: Variant 12-51688810-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-51688810-A-G is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 162015.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars.

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v4.1.0 dataset. Predicted Consequence/Location: Missense variant. Missense changes are a common disease-causing mechanism. Functional studies provide moderate evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 25239001). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product [REVEL: 0.99 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.68 and specificity 0.92); 3Cnet: 0.98 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.72 and precision 0.9)]. The same nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid change has been previously reported to be associated with SCN8A related disorder (ClinVar ID: VCV000162015 /PMID: 25239001).Different missense changes at the same codon (p.Arg223Ser, p.Arg223Thr) have been reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000665356, VCV001895463 /PMID: 29933521). Therefore, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline.
