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

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 7 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 3 uncertain in NM_052867.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• 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.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.816
• PP5: Variant 13-101176371-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-101176371-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 187773.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars.
