Genes affected
SCN4A (HGNC:10591): (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 4) Voltage-gated sodium channels are transmembrane glycoprotein complexes composed of a large alpha subunit with 24 transmembrane domains and one or more regulatory beta subunits. They are responsible for the generation and propagation of action potentials in neurons and muscle. This gene encodes one member of the sodium channel alpha subunit gene family. It is expressed in skeletal muscle, and mutations in this gene have been linked to several myotonia and periodic paralysis disorders. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -21 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.9).
BP6
Variant 17-63968096-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr17-63968096-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 285102.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BP7
Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-0.632 with no splicing effect.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.000244 (357/1461704) while in subpopulation AMR AF = 0.00693 (310/44724). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0063. There are 3 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 145 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 3 AR,AD gene
