Genes affected
SCN1A (HGNC:10585): (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 1) Voltage-dependent sodium channels are heteromeric complexes that regulate sodium exchange between intracellular and extracellular spaces and are essential for the generation and propagation of action potentials in muscle cells and neurons. Each sodium channel is composed of a large pore-forming, glycosylated alpha subunit and two smaller beta subunits. This gene encodes a sodium channel alpha subunit, which has four homologous domains, each of which contains six transmembrane regions. Allelic variants of this gene are associated with generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures and epileptic encephalopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. The RefSeq Project has decided to create four representative RefSeq records. Three of the transcript variants are supported by experimental evidence and the fourth contains alternate 5' untranslated exons, the exact combination of which have not been experimentally confirmed for the full-length transcript.

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Predicted Consequence/Location: Stop-gained (nonsense): predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant. The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000189861 /PMID: 12566275). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

The p.R1213* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.3637C>T), located in coding exon 18 of the SCN1A gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 3637. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 18. This mutation has been detected in multiple patients with early onset epilepsy phenotypes including Dravet syndrome and intractable epilepsy in infancy, with some cases reported as occurring de novo (Fujiwara T et al. Brain. 2003;126:531-46; Depienne C et al. J. Med. Genet., 2009;46:183-91; Wang JW et al. Epilepsy Res. 2012;102:195-200; Allen et al. Nature. 2013;501:217-21; van Egmond ME et al. Eur. J. Paediatr. Neurol., 2015;19:726-9; Zhu X et al. PLoS Genet. 2017;13:e1007104). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1213*) in the SCN1A gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in SCN1A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17347258, 18930999). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with intractable epilepsy and Dravet syndrome (PMID: 12566275, 18930999, 23195492, 23934111). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 189861). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
