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 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 12-51721871-GC-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-51721871-GC-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 530450.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The c.1965delC (p.G656Afs*27) alteration, located in exon 12 (coding exon 11) of the SCN8A gene, consists of a deletion of one nucleotide at position 1965, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon after 27 amino acids. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay._x000D_ _x000D_ Based on the available evidence, the SCN8A c.1965delC (p.G656Afs*27) alteration is classified as pathogenic for SCN8A-related neurodevelopmental disorder; however, its clinical significance for SCN8A-related seizure disorders is uncertain. This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly656Alafs*27) in the SCN8A gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in SCN8A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19254928, 32651551). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SCN8A-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 530450). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

This is a frameshift variant in the SCN8A gene (OMIM 600702). Heterozygous pathogenic variants in this gene are associated with SCN8A-related disorders. This variant introduces a premature termination codon in exon 12 out of 27. It is expected to result in loss of function, which is a known disease mechanism for SCN8A (PMID: 28702509, 34431999) (PVS1). This variant is absent from control populations (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/) (PM2_Supporting). This variant has not been reported previously in the medical literature. Based on the current evidence, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic for SCN8A-related disorders. -
