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]

The c.5710C>T (p.R1904C) alteration is located in exon 27 (coding exon 26) of the SCN8A gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 5710, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 1904 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 1904 of the SCN8A protein (p.Arg1904Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs367984544, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with SCN8A-related conditions (PMID: 33004838; Invitae). This variant is also known as c.5743C>T (p.Arg1915Cys). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 530423). 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 not expected to disrupt SCN8A protein function. 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. -

This sequence change in SCN8A is predicted to replace arginine with cysteine at codon 1904, p.(Arg1904Cys). The arginine residue is highly conserved (100 vertebrates, Multiz Alignments), and is located in the cytoplasmic domain. There is a large physicochemical difference between arginine and cysteine. The highest population minor allele frequency in the population database gnomAD v4.0 is 0.003% (2/60,008 alleles) in the Admixed American population. This variant has been reported in two unrelated individuals with epilepsy phenotypes (PMID: 31887642, 31335965). Computational evidence predicts a benign effect for the missense substitution (REVEL = 0.205). Based on the classification scheme RMH Modified ACMG/AMP Guidelines v1.6.1, this variant is classified as a VARIANT OF UNCERTAIN SIGNIFICANCE. Following criteria are met: BP4 -
