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 6 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the SCN8A gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 213 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 45 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.78755 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 10.436 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to myoclonus, familial, 2, infantile convulsions and choreoathetosis, cognitive impairment with or without cerebellar ataxia, undetermined early-onset epileptic encephalopathy, complex neurodevelopmental disorder, developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 13, benign familial infantile epilepsy, seizures, benign familial infantile, 5.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.93
• PP5: Variant 12-51788702-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-51788702-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 523505.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_pathogenic=1, Uncertain_significance=2}.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

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 missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with SCN8A-related disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces phenylalanine with serine at codon 1412 of the SCN8A protein (p.Phe1412Ser). The phenylalanine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between phenylalanine and serine. -
