Genes affected
SCN4A (HGNC:10591): (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 4) Voltage-gated sodium channels are transmembrane glycoprotein complexes composed of a large alpha subunit with 24 transmembrane domains and one or more regulatory beta subunits. They are responsible for the generation and propagation of action potentials in neurons and muscle. This gene encodes one member of the sodium channel alpha subunit gene family. It is expressed in skeletal muscle, and mutations in this gene have been linked to several myotonia and periodic paralysis disorders. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxSep 07, 2021Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect as this variant results in a defect in sodium channel gating (Wang et al., 1999); Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 19840739, 25839108, 10218481, 17334961, 25724373, 9392583, 27415035, 28325641, 18337100, 31567646, 9929487, 32849172, 32670189, 33263785, 32660787, 22653516) -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAthena DiagnosticsSep 06, 2022The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant appears to segregate with disease in at least one family, however, the available information does not rule out segregation due to chance. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. Variant causes defects in the inactivation properties of the mutant sodium channel (PMID 10218481). -

Familial hyperkalemic periodic paralysis Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 17, 2024This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 445 of the SCN4A protein (p.Val445Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908552, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with myotonia congenita and is associated with marked phenotypic variability (PMID: 9392583, 17334961, 19840739, 22653516, 25724373, 25839108). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5910). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on SCN4A protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SCN4A function (PMID: 10218481, 11744749). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
