Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PM1PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000334.4(SCN4A):c.2023C>T(p.Arg675Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000056 in 1,608,322 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. 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. R675G) has been classified as Pathogenic.

In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31708864, 19201608, 19052238, 22016737, 32962503, 24772081, 20301669, 29930533, 22926674, 15596759, 29606556) -
Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis Pathogenic:2Other:1
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 675 of the SCN4A protein (p.Arg675Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908556, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant SCN4A-related conditions (PMID: 15596759, 29606556). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5902). 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 SCN4A protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SCN4A function (PMID: 19052238). This variant disrupts the p.Arg675 amino acid residue in SCN4A. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15596759, 19052238, 22926674). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Variant summary: SCN4A c.2023C>T (p.Arg675Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 243902 control chromosomes. c.2023C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Periodic Hyperkalemic Paralysis (examples: Shin_2024, Stunnenberg_2018, ArzelHezode_2009, Vicart_2004). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidencethat the variant changes the normal function of the protein (Sokolov_2008). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 38951973, 19052238, 15596759, 19201608, 15596759). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5902). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with autosomal recessive Congenital Myopathy. Based on the evidence outlined above, this variant is pathogenic for autosomal dominant Periodic Hyperkalemic Paralysis. -
