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]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.5138G>A (p.G1713D) alteration is located in exon 44 (coding exon 43) of the NALCN gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 5138, causing the glycine (G) at amino acid position 1713 to be replaced by an aspartic acid (D). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

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. 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 NALCN protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1341897). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NALCN-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 1713 of the NALCN protein (p.Gly1713Asp). -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The inherited heterozygous c.5138G>A (p.Gly1713Asp) missense variant identified in the NALCN gene has not been reported in affected individual in the literature. The variant has been reported once in the gnomAD(v3) database (1out of 152222 heterozygous alleles) suggesting it is not a common benign allele in the populations represented in that database.The variant affects an evolutionarily conserved residue and is predicted deleterious by multiple in silico tools. Functional studies to evaluate the potential consequencesof this variant have not been reported. Based on the available evidence, the inherited heterozygous c.5138G>A (p.Gly1713Asp) missense variant identified in the NALCN gene is reported as a variant of uncertain significance. -
