Genes affected
SCN4A (HGNC:10591): (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 4) 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. It is expressed in skeletal muscle, and mutations in this gene have been linked to several myotonia and periodic paralysis disorders. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Familial hyperkalemic periodic paralysis Pathogenic:3Other:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpNov 08, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 675 of the SCN4A protein (p.Arg675Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908557, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant hyperkalemic periodic paralysis, hypokalemic periodic paralysis and normokalemic periodic paralysis (PMID: 15596759, 18046642, 19065518, 19225109, 22926674, 25839108). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5919). 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, 19065518, 24682880). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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, 22926674, 23516313). 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. -
