Genes affected

NALCN (HGNC:19082): (sodium leak channel, non-selective) This gene encodes a voltage-independent, nonselective cation channel which belongs to a family of voltage-gated sodium and calcium channels that regulates the resting membrane potential and excitability of neurons. This family is expressed throughout the nervous system and conducts a persistent sodium leak current that contributes to tonic neuronal excitability. The encoded protein forms a channelosome complex that includes G-protein-coupled receptors, UNC-79, UNC-80, NCA localization factor-1, and src family tyrosine kinases. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy, infantile hypotonia with psychomotor retardation and characteristic facies (IHPRF) syndrome, and congenital contractures of the limbs and face with hypotonia and developmental delay (CLIFAHDD) syndrome. A knockout of the orthologous gene in mice results in paralysis with a severely disrupted respiratory rhythm, and lethality within 24 hours after birth. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2017]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The stop gained variant has been reported previously in homozygous and compound heterozygous state in patients affected with Infantile hypotonia with psychomotor retardation and characteristic facies (Karimi et al). The c.2563C>T variant is reported with the allele frequency of 0.002123% in gnomAD and is novel (not in any individuals) in 1000 Genomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic. The nucleotide change c.2563C>T in NALCN is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. Loss of function variants have been previously reported to be disease causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: case-control

The WES analysis identified a stop gain mutation in the NALCN gene on chromosome13 (NM_052867); chr13:101107503G/A c.2563C>T p.R855X (rs376152742). The mutation was predicted to be pathogenic by MutationTaster and CADD_phred. Our review of the public resources, local population database, and the literature revealed that there is no previous publication describing this mutation in homozygous form. However, a single ClinVar submission confirmed the pathogenic effects of this genetic anomaly but merely provided an overview of the resulting manifestations with no detailed information. Furthermore, it failed to distinguish between IHPRF1 and CLIFAHDD and resulted in confusion by referring to several publications on CLIFAHDD as supporting evidence (SCV000742166.1). Sanger sequencing confirmed the presence of the mutation and its homozygosity in the proband and segregated with the autosomal recessive inheritance pattern of IHPRF1 in all tested individuals. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The alteration results in a premature stop codon: _x000D_ _x000D_ The c.2563C>T (p.R855*) alteration, located in exon 22 (coding exon 21) of the NALCN gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2563. This changes the amino acid from a arginine (R) to a stop codon at amino acid position 855. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The alteration has been observed in an affected individual: _x000D_ _x000D_ This alteration was reported in a patient with developmental delay, hypotonia, feeding difficulties, plagiocephaly, and disordered respiratory rhythm with central apnea (Campbell, 2018). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
