Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PM1 PP2 PP3_Strong

The NM_000334.4(SCN4A):​c.4415T>C​(p.Leu1472Pro) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000041 in 1,461,644 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 13/22 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L1472L) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

SCN4A (HGNC:10591): (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 4) Voltage-gated sodium channels are transmembrane glycoprotein complexes composed of a large alpha subunit with 24 transmembrane domains and one or more regulatory beta subunits. They are responsible for the generation and propagation of action potentials in neurons and muscle. This gene encodes one member of the sodium channel alpha subunit gene family. It is expressed in skeletal muscle, and mutations in this gene have been linked to several myotonia and periodic paralysis disorders. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 5 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 17 uncertain in NM_000334.4
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 97 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 19 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.5606 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 2.2224 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to congenital myasthenic syndrome 16, paramyotonia congenita of Von Eulenburg, hyperkalemic periodic paralysis, hypokalemic periodic paralysis, type 2, congenital myopathy, hypokalemic periodic paralysis, SCN4A-related myopathy, autosomal recessive, congenital myopathy 22A, classic, potassium-aggravated myotonia, postsynaptic congenital myasthenic syndrome, myotonia fluctuans, myotonia permanens, acetazolamide-responsive myotonia.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.994
