Genes affected

SCN11A (HGNC:10583): (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 11) 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, and is highly expressed in nociceptive neurons of dorsal root ganglia and trigeminal ganglia. It mediates brain-derived neurotrophic factor-evoked membrane depolarization and is a major effector of peripheral inflammatory pain hypersensitivity. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type VII and familial episodic pain syndrome-3. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]

In summary, this is a novel nonsense variant occurring in the final exon of the SCN11A gene. There is no indication that this variant causes disease, but the evidence is insufficient at this time to prove that conclusively. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Experimental studies have not been reported for this truncating variant and it is currently unknown if the last 34 amino acids of the SCN11A protein are critical for its function. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with an SCN11A-related disease. This sequence change results in a premature translational stop signal in the last exon of the SCN11A mRNA at codon 1758 (p.Asp1758*). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to delete the last 34 amino acids of the SCN11A protein. -
