Genes affected
SCN8A (HGNC:10596): (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 8) This gene encodes a member of the sodium channel alpha subunit gene family. The encoded protein forms the ion pore region of the voltage-gated sodium channel. This protein is essential for the rapid membrane depolarization that occurs during the formation of the action potential in excitable neurons. Mutations in this gene are associated with cognitive disability, pancerebellar atrophy and ataxia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

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

The p.R492C variant (also known as c.1474C>T), located in coding exon 10 of the SCN8A gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1474. The arginine at codon 492 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

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

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 492 of the SCN8A protein (p.Arg492Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs576362165, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SCN8A-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 589221). Advanced 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 at Invitae 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 SCN8A 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. -
