p.Ala1834Val (GCG>GTG): c.5501 C>T in exon 26 of the SCN1A gene (NM_001165963.1) The Ala1834Val missense change has not been published as a mutation, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. It was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. This variant is a conservative substitution of one uncharged, non-polar amino acid for another at a position that is conserved in placental mammals but is not conserved in more distantly related species. However, it alters a position between the sixth transmembrane domain and the IQ domain and other missense mutations associated with Dravet syndrome (Phe1831Ser, Ala1832Pro, Leu1835Phe) have been reported in this region of the protein. In silico analysis is inconsistent with regard to the effect this variant may have on the protein structure/function. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether Ala1834Val is a disease-causing mutation or a rare benign variant.The variant is found in INFANT-EPI panel(s). -

The missense variant NM_001165963.4 (SCN1A):c.5501C>T (p.Ala1834Val) has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The p.Ala1834Val variant is observed in 2/30,616 (0.0065%) alleles from individuals of gnomAD South Asian background in gnomAD. The p.Ala1834Val variant is novel (not in any individuals) in 1kG. There is a small physicochemical difference between alanine and valine, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. The gene SCN1A has a low rate of benign missense variation as indicated by a high missense variants Z-Score of 5.22. Missense Variants Z-Score is produced by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (60,706 adult humans) by computing a signed Z score for the deviation of observed counts from the expected number. Positive Z scores indicate increased constraint (intolerance to variation) and therefore that the gene had fewer missense variants than expected. (DOI: 10.1038/nature19057). The Missense Badness and MPC scores for this variant is 0.35 and 1.56 respectively. Missense Badness Score is the normalized fold difference of missense substitutions between observed and expected variants from ExAC dataset. This score is then combined with orthogonal deleteriousness metrics into one score called MPC (for Missense badness, PolyPhen-2, and Constraint) designed to classify whether a missense variants is deleterious.Variants with MPC ≥ 2 have a rate nearly 6 times higher in cases than in controls. While those with intermediate MPC values (1 ≤ MPC < 2) have a more modest excess in cases. The gene SCN1A contains 537 pathogenic missense variants, indicating that missense variants are a common mechanism of disease in this gene. 4 variants within 6 amino acid positions of the variant p.Ala1834Val have been shown to be pathogenic, while none have been shown to be benign. The p.Ala1834Val missense variant is predicted to be damaging by both SIFT and PolyPhen2. The alanine residue at codon 1834 of SCN1A is conserved in all mammalian species. The nucleotide c.5501 in SCN1A is predicted conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1834 of the SCN1A protein (p.Ala1834Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs780809852, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of SCN1A-related conditions (PMID: 27457812, 36820031; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 206867). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt SCN1A protein function with a positive 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. -

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as VUS-3B. Following criteria are met: 0103 - Loss of function and gain of function are known mechanisms of disease in this gene and are associated with SCN1A-related epilepsy (PMID: 28488083). (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. However, there is emerging evidence of a recessive mode of inheritance (PMID: 34917021, PMID: 34174751). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from alanine to valine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0302 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2, v3) <0.001 for a dominant condition (4 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0604 - Variant is not located in an established domain, motif, hotspot or informative constraint region. (I) 0705 - No comparable missense variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. (I) 0808 - Previous reports of pathogenicity for this variant are conflicting. This variant has been reported multiple times as a VUS, and once as likely pathogenic (LOVD, ClinVar), and has been observed in a heterozygous individual with moyamoya disease and a partial trisomy 13 (PMID: 36820031). It has also been observed in a single homozygous family with intellectual disability (PMID: 27457812). (I) 0901 - This variant has strong evidence for segregation with disease. This variant has segregated within a single family with three homozygous individuals with intellectual disability, where heterozygous individuals were not reported as affected (PMID: 27457812).
