Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -8 ACMG points: 0P and 8B. BS2BS1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.4687A>G variant in SCN8A is a missense variant predicted to cause the substitution of isoleucine by valine at amino acid 1563 (p.Ile1563Val). The variant is present at a frequency of 0.000008674 (14 alleles) of the total population in gnomAD v4.0, which exceeds the threshold for BS1. Additionally, the variant was identified in 7 unaffected adults who were referred for clinical testing as part as trio exome analysis (internal data, GeneDx, July 2023). It was identified as homozygous in an individual undergoing trio exome sequencing for an unrelated condition, without a neurodevelopmental disorder, in which both parents were heterozygous and unaffected (BS2, GeneDx internal data, July 2023). In summary, this variant meets the criteria for BENIGN for Autosomal Dominant Complex Neurodevelopmental Disorder based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Epilepsy Sodium Channel VCEP (Version 1.0, approved 7/25/23): BS1, BS2 LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA6571849/MONDO:0100038/070

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]

Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy with suppression bursts Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 29, 2024This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1563 of the SCN8A protein (p.Ile1563Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs751979396, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of SCN8A-related conditions (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 568706). 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 with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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. -
