Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -8 ACMG points: 1P and 9B. PP2BP4_StrongBP6BS1

The NM_052867.4(NALCN):c.4977C>G(p.Asp1659Glu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0003 in 1,613,936 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 16/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. D1659A) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

NALCN (HGNC:19082): (sodium leak channel, non-selective) This gene encodes a voltage-independent, nonselective cation channel which belongs to a family of voltage-gated sodium and calcium channels that regulates the resting membrane potential and excitability of neurons. This family is expressed throughout the nervous system and conducts a persistent sodium leak current that contributes to tonic neuronal excitability. The encoded protein forms a channelosome complex that includes G-protein-coupled receptors, UNC-79, UNC-80, NCA localization factor-1, and src family tyrosine kinases. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy, infantile hypotonia with psychomotor retardation and characteristic facies (IHPRF) syndrome, and congenital contractures of the limbs and face with hypotonia and developmental delay (CLIFAHDD) syndrome. A knockout of the orthologous gene in mice results in paralysis with a severely disrupted respiratory rhythm, and lethality within 24 hours after birth. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2017]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -8 ACMG points.

PP2

Missense variant in the NALCN gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 63 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 9 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 4.9555 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 6.7536 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to congenital contractures of the limbs and face, hypotonia, and developmental delay, temporal lobe epilepsy, hypotonia, infantile, with psychomotor retardation and characteristic facies 1, Sheldon-hall syndrome, digitotalar dysmorphism, hypotonia, infantile, with psychomotor retardation and characteristic facies, Freeman-Sheldon syndrome.

Ambry Genetics

Significance:Likely benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
