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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a topological_domain Cytoplasmic (size 15) in uniprot entity SCN4A_HUMAN there are 7 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_000334.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.994
• PP5: Variant 17-63957460-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-63957460-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 5923.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr17-63957460-A-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

The I693T substitution in the SCN4A gene has been reported multiple times in association with SCN4A-relateddisorders including paramyotonia congenita and hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (Song et al., 2012; Pagon etal., 1993; Matthews et al., 2008; SCN4A LOVD). The I693T variant was not observed in approximately6,400 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 I693T variant is a non-conservativeamino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ inpolarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution alters a conserved position that is predicted tobe within the cytoplasmic loop between transmembrane segments 4 and 5 in the second homologous repeatdomain. Additionally, missense variants in the same (I693L/M) and nearby (L689I/V) residues have beenreported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with SCN4A-related disorders (Stenson et al.,2014). Therefore, we interpret I693T as a pathogenic variant. -

This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 693 of the SCN4A protein (p.Ile693Thr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with hyperkalemic periodic paralysis and/or paramyotonia congenita (PMID: 2649440, 8902732, 19015492, 20076800, 22926674). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5923). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt SCN4A protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SCN4A function (PMID: 9508833). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
