The NM_001165963.4(SCN1A):c.4907G>T (p.Arg1636Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.000000684 (AC=1) in the gnomAD database across 1,461,640 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.0000252. In-silico predictor (REVEL) classifies this variant as likely damaging/oncogenic. The affected nucleotide is highly conserved across species (PhyloP 100-way vertebrate score: 7.77). Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★). A different missense at the same amino acid position has been reported as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic in ClinVar: p.R1636G: Likely_pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 2031256, 1 star) Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.R1636= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 951192, 2 stars)

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.

Classification according to ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025

Specifications for SCN1A are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 5 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	O3Absent or very rare in population		Absent or extremely rare in gnomAD (AC ≤ 2) — O3 moderate; GnomAD: AF = 0.000025, AC = 1 — absent/extremely rare (O3 moderate [+2])
	O6Computational evidence supports deleterious effect		Computational evidence supports a deleterious/oncogenic effect; Missense variant — primary computational scorer supports an oncogenic/deleterious effect
	O7Mutational hotspot or critical domain		Supporting: cancerhotspots.org hit, critical domain, or missense neighbourhood hotspot; No cancerhotspots.org hit at this position; UniProt domain: 0 pathogenic, 0 benign.; ±8 AA neighbourhood: 17 pathogenic, 0 benign (OR vs. background: 175.0); Variant does not impact splicing — splice-hotspot path not applicable
	O8Missense constraint in gene or region		Missense in gene/domain constrained for missense variation where missense is common disease mechanism (O8 supporting); Gene/disease mechanism: missense is a common mechanism of oncogenesis; gnomAD missense Z-score: 7.62 (threshold ≥3.09 for constraint); Domain-level constraint: variant is in a critically constrained functional domain (IS_AT_CRITICAL_DOMAIN)
