NM_001165963.4:c.5797delC

Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.5797del variant in SCN1A is a single nucleotide deletion predicted to cause a frameshift at amino acid position 1933 leading to a premature stop codon (p.Arg1933Glufs*3). The variant is located within the last exon and thus predicted to escape nonsense mediated decay. The truncated region is not known to be important for protein function, as missense variants reported in the region do not meet PLP per these criteria. Furthermore, LOF variants within this exon are relatively common in gnomAD v4.1. As such, this variant does not meet criteria to apply PVS1. This variant has been identified in a family in which 2 affected siblings with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) harbored the variant, in addition to an unaffected parent and 2 unaffected siblings (LabCorp Genetics, Inc. internal data). Given the severity of the phenotype and presence in multiple unaffected family members, this case was not included as evidence for PS4. The variant is absent from the population database, gnomAD v4.1 (PM2_Supporting). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Variant of Uncertain Significance for autosomal dominant SCN1A-related disorder, based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Epilepsy Sodium Channel VCEP: PM2_Supporting. (version 1.0, approved September 24, 2024). LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA269784/MONDO:0018214/067

Genes affected
SCN1A (HGNC:10585): (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 1) Voltage-dependent sodium channels are heteromeric complexes that regulate sodium exchange between intracellular and extracellular spaces and are essential for the generation and propagation of action potentials in muscle cells and neurons. Each sodium channel is composed of a large pore-forming, glycosylated alpha subunit and two smaller beta subunits. This gene encodes a sodium channel alpha subunit, which has four homologous domains, each of which contains six transmembrane regions. Allelic variants of this gene are associated with generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures and epileptic encephalopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. The RefSeq Project has decided to create four representative RefSeq records. Three of the transcript variants are supported by experimental evidence and the fourth contains alternate 5' untranslated exons, the exact combination of which have not been experimentally confirmed for the full-length transcript.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1933Glufs*3) in the SCN1A gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 77 amino acid(s) of the SCN1A protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SCN1A-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 130208). This variant disrupts a region of the SCN1A protein in which other variant(s) (p.Arg1988Trp) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 23708187; internal data). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
