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]

Variant summary: SCN4A c.52C>A (p.Arg18Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00038 in 247522 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygote. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in SCN4A causing Congenital Myopathy 22A, Classic (0.00038 vs 0.0011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.52C>A in individuals affected with Congenital Myopathy 22A, Classic and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 436668). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 18 of the SCN4A protein (p.Arg18Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs78592515, gnomAD 0.08%), including at least one homozygous and/or hemizygous individual. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SCN4A-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 436668). 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) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on SCN4A protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
