Genes affected

SCN8A (HGNC:10596): (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 8) This gene encodes a member of the sodium channel alpha subunit gene family. The encoded protein forms the ion pore region of the voltage-gated sodium channel. This protein is essential for the rapid membrane depolarization that occurs during the formation of the action potential in excitable neurons. Mutations in this gene are associated with cognitive disability, pancerebellar atrophy and ataxia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 5 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 10 uncertain in NM_014191.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr12-51807091-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1505439.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, SCN8A
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.897
• PP5: Variant 12-51807092-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-51807092-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 420831.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_pathogenic=2, Uncertain_significance=1}.

A variant that is likely pathogenic has been identified in the SCN8A gene. The M1869T variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. It was not observed in approximately 6,300 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The M1869T 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. Additionally, this substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species that is predicted to be within the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain of the SCN8A protein, and in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Furthermore, missense variants in nearby residues (E1870D, R1872W/Q) have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with SCN8A-related disorders (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. Additionally, targeted parental test results indicate this variant is assumed to be de novo. Therefore, we now interpret M1869T as a likely pathogenic variant; however, the possibility that it is benign cannot be excluded. -

This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1869 of the SCN8A protein (p.Met1869Thr). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SCN8A-related conditions. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. 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) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt SCN8A protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 420831). -
