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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -4 ACMG points.

PP2
Missense variant in the SCN8A gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 213 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 45 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.78755 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 10.436 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to myoclonus, familial, 2, developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 13, undetermined early-onset epileptic encephalopathy, benign familial infantile epilepsy, complex neurodevelopmental disorder, seizures, benign familial infantile, 5, cognitive impairment with or without cerebellar ataxia, infantile convulsions and choreoathetosis.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.3560781).
BS2
High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 13 AD gene.

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

This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 482 of the SCN8A protein (p.Lys482Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs769520392, gnomAD 0.007%). 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: 381058). 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) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt SCN8A protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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.
