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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaNov 30, 2022The SCN4A c.4420G>A (p.Ala1474Thr) missense variant results in the substitution of alanine at amino acid position 1474 with threonine. The c.4420G>A variant has been reported in a heterozygous state in one individual who was presumed to be affected, however, no clinical information was provided (PMID: 33726816). This variant is reported in the Genome Aggregation Database in eight alleles at a frequency of 0.000436 in the East Asian population (version 2.1.1). Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest the variant may have a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product. Based on the available evidence, the c.4420G>A (p.Ala1474Thr) variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance for SCN4A-related channelopathies. -

Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 11, 2023This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1474 of the SCN4A protein (p.Ala1474Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs778417596, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SCN4A-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 586520). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on SCN4A 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. -
