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]

SCN1A-AS1 (HGNC:54069): (SCN1A and SCN9A antisense RNA 1)

The SCN9A c.1555G>A; p.Glu519Lys variant (rs187453572) is reported in the literature in one individual with febrile seizures and in several individuals with small fiber neuropathy (Almomani 2023, Eijkenboom 2019, Singh 2009). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 193859) and is found in the non-Finnish European population with an allele frequency of 0.09% (111/128,350 alleles, including one homozygote) in the Genome Aggregation Database. Computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.549). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of the p.Glu519Lys variant is uncertain at this time. References: Almomani R et al.

Variant summary: SCN9A c.1555G>A (p.Glu519Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00045 in 248934 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in SCN9A causing Channelopathy-Associated Congenital Insensitivity To Pain, Autosomal Recessive (0.00045 vs 0.0011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1555G>A has been reported in the literature in one individual affected with Dravet syndrome, without strong evidence for causality (Singh_2009). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Channelopathy-Associated Congenital Insensitivity To Pain, Autosomal Recessive. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 19763161). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 193859). 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

The p.E519K variant (also known as c.1555G>A), located in coding exon 10 of the SCN9A gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1555. The glutamic acid at codon 519 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is unlikely to be causative of primary erythermalgia/small fiber neuropathy, and paroxysmal extreme pain disorder; however, its contribution to the development of congenital insensitivity to pain and hereditary sensory autonomic neuropathy type II is uncertain.

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases allowed determination this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign.
