Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Moderate PP5_Moderate

The NM_052867.4(NALCN):c.985A>G(p.Arg329Gly) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R329T) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a helix (size 21) in uniprot entity NALCN_HUMAN there are 10 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_052867.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr13-101292051-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 985383.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, NALCN
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.906
• PP5: Variant 13-101292052-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-101292052-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 369675.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This substitution is predicted to result in a change of an arginine to a glycine at position 329, NP_443099.1, p.(Arg329Gly). The amino acid at this position is highly conserved, and in the transmembrane domain. This substitution is predicted to be disease-causing by in silico models, and is novel. Grantham assessment is likely deleterious based on conservation and amino acid properties. This variant was confirmed to be de novo, and was identified in a child with clinical features of CLIFAHDD syndrome. -
