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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, NOT destroyed by nmd, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.059038144 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.2, offset of -18, new splice context is: atgGTgatt. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 2-166037775-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-166037775-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 189935.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 15, but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (PMID: 25590135). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 189935). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of SCN1A-related conditions (PMID: 17347258). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 15 of the SCN1A gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. -

The c.2946+1 G>T splice site variant in the SCN1A gene has been previously reported as a de novo variant in a patient with febrile and generalized tonic-clonic seizures and myoclonic jerks beginning around 6 months of age (Harkin et al., 2007). This variant 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. The c.2946+1 G>T variant destroys the canonical splice donor site in intron 15, and is expected to cause abnormal gene splicing. -
