Genes affected
SCN1B (HGNC:10586): (sodium voltage-gated channel beta subunit 1) Voltage-gated sodium channels are heteromeric proteins that function in the generation and propagation of action potentials in muscle and neuronal cells. They are composed of one alpha and two beta subunits, where the alpha subunit provides channel activity and the beta-1 subunit modulates the kinetics of channel inactivation. This gene encodes a sodium channel beta-1 subunit. Mutations in this gene result in generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus, Brugada syndrome 5, and defects in cardiac conduction. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

Initially published as a pathogenic variant in an individual with atrial fibrillation, and functional studies show that D153N results in loss of function of the protein; however, as seizures were not reported in the affected individual, the association of D153N with epilepsy, if any, is unknown (PMID: 19808477); Reported previously in two individuals in a large population cohort who had exome sequencing; the authors classified D153N as a variant of unknown significance (PMID: 24055113); In silico analysis indicates that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: Garde2020[CaseControl], 27435932, 21682648, 23838598, 35385795, 38375940, 36354758, 19808477, 24055113, 37175987, 38908461, 34867379) -

The SCN1B gene has multiple clinically relevant transcripts. This variant occurs in alternate transcript NM_001037.5, and corresponds to NM_199037.4:c.*5027G>A in the primary transcript. This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 153 of the SCN1B protein (p.Asp153Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs72550247, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with atrial fibrillation or sudden death (PMID: 19808477, 27435932). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on gene product structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SCN1B function (PMID: 19808477). 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. -

The p.D153N variant (also known as c.457G>A), located in coding exon 4 of the SCN1B gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 457. The aspartic acid at codon 153 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the supporting evidence, the clinical significance of this variant for autosomal recessive SCN1B-related early infantile epileptic encephalopathy is unclear; however, due to its observed frequencies in various cohorts, this variant is unlikely to be causative of autosomal dominant SCN1B-related epilepsy and Brugada syndrome. -
