Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points: 3P and 2B. PM2 PP2 BP4_Moderate

The NM_001330260.2(SCN8A):​c.5879G>C​(p.Arg1960Pro) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000124 in 1,613,470 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R1960Q) has been classified as Likely benign.

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

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• 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=0.19908357).
