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 Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 2 benign, 4 uncertain in NM_001330260.2
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, SCN8A
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.916

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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 461348). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SCN8A-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 216 of the SCN8A protein (p.Val216Ala). The SCN8A gene has multiple clinically relevant transcripts. This variant occurs in alternate transcript NM_001330260.1, and corresponds to NM_014191.3:c.706+188T>C in the primary transcript. -
