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]

Submissions by phenotype

Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 07, 2017This sequence change affects codon 80 of the SCN4A mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the SCN4A protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs760094343, ExAC 0.003%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with SCN4A-related disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. 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. -
