Genes affected
SCN9A (HGNC:10597): (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 9) This gene encodes a voltage-gated sodium channel which plays a significant role in nociception signaling. Mutations in this gene have been associated with primary erythermalgia, channelopathy-associated insensitivity to pain, and paroxysmal extreme pain disorder. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2009]

The SCN9A c.1660C>A; p.Leu554Ile variant (rs201994523), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature but is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 234893). This variant is found in the general population with an allele frequency of 0.0036% (10/279,904 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The leucine at codon 554 is highly conserved, but computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.326). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of the p.Leu554Ile variant is uncertain at this time.

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

The L554I variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. The L554I variant was not observed with any significant frequency in approximately 6,000 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project. The L554I variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. This substitution occurs at a position where amino acids with similar properties to Leucine are tolerated across species. In silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. Based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant.

The alteration results in an amino acid change: The c.1660C>A (p.L554I) alteration is located in exon 12 (coding exon 11) of the SCN9A gene. This alteration results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 1660, causing the leucine (L) at amino acid position 554 to be replaced by an isoleucine (I). The alteration is rare in population databases: Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Databases (gnomAD), the SCN9A c.1660C>A alteration was observed in 0.004% (10/279,904) total alleles studied, with a frequency of 0.012% (3/24,190) in the African subpopulation. The altered amino acid is conserved throughout evolution: The p.L554 amino acid is mostly conserved in available vertebrate species; however, isoleucine is in the reference amino acid in several species. The alteration is predicted tolerated by in silico modeling: The p.L554I alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
