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]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1142 of the SCN4A protein (p.Arg1142Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs780703403, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive congenital myopathy (PMID: 28262468, 30283817). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 477417). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SCN4A function (PMID: 28262468, 30283817). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
