Genes affected
SCN2A (HGNC:10588): (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 2) Voltage-gated sodium channels are transmembrane glycoprotein complexes composed of a large alpha subunit with four repeat domains, each of which is composed of six membrane-spanning segments, and one or more regulatory beta subunits. Voltage-gated sodium channels function in the generation and propagation of action potentials in neurons and muscle. This gene encodes one member of the sodium channel alpha subunit gene family. Allelic variants of this gene are associated with seizure disorders and autism spectrum disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2016]

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

A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the SCN2A gene. The R1918C variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. The R1918C variant was not observed with any significant frequency in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in an external variant database. The R1918C variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution alters a conserved residue predicted to be within the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain, and in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. However, missense variants in nearby residues have not been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with SCN2A-related disorders (Stenson et al., 2014). Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -

SCN2A NM_021007.2 exon 27 p.Arg1918Cys (c.5752C>T): This variant has not been reported in the literature but is present in 20/125986 European alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/rs139899756). This variant is present in ClinVar (Variation ID:282579). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools for this variant are unclear. In summary, data on this variant is insufficient for disease classification. Therefore, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. -

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
