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]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.008801013).
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.000421 (64/152198) while in subpopulation AMR AF= 0.00412 (63/15288). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00331. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 53 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

Submissions by phenotype

Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 26, 2024This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 3 of the SCN4A protein (p.Arg3Thr). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with SCN4A-related conditions (PMID: 33146414). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 543812). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available". The threonine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. -
