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.

Published RNA and protein studies have shown that this variant leads to the skipping of exon 14, and results in greatly reduced protein levels in heterologous expression systems. In addition, functional studies using induced neurons derived from patient cells, indicated that this variant caused hyperexcitability, a result consistent with an in vitro epileptic-like phenotype (Liu et al., 2013); In silico analysis supports a deleterious effect on splicing; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 27465585, 27790834, 33067208, 32090326, 17347258, 26373465, 29408779, 30619928, 31864146, 31139143, 23821540, 32613771, 35072530, 31440721, 31069529, 33278787) -

A heterozygous 5’ splice site variation in intron 17 of the SCN1A gene (c.2589+3A>T) that affects the position 3 bases downstream of exon 17 was detected. The observed variant is not present in both the 1000 Genomes and gnomAD databases. The reference base is conserved across the species and in-silico predictions by Mutation taster, NNSplice and PWM are damaging. This variant (also known as IVS14+3A>T) has previously been reported for Dravet syndrome by Xu X. et al., 2015. This variant has been shown to result in skipping of exon 17 during splicing of the SCN1A gene, which correlates with a little to no SCN1A protein expression and no sodium current in a heterologous system by Liu Y. et al., 2013. The variant c.2589+3A>T has been previously classified as Pathogenic in ClinVar (Variation ID 189938 as of 2020-09-03) with respect to Severe myoclonic epilepsy in infancy and 2 other conditions with a status of (2 stars) criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts. Based on the above evidence this variant has been classified as Pathogenic according to the ACMG guidelines. -

This sequence change falls in intron 14 of the SCN1A gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the SCN1A protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy (SMEI) or intractable seizures (PMID: 17347258, 23195492, 23821540). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 189938). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on gene product structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that this variant affects SCN1A function (PMID: 23821540). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). 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. -

This variant has been reported in the literature in several individuals with epileptic encephalopathy/Dravet syndrome including numerous de novo incidences (Harkin 2007 PMID:17347258, Liu 2013 PMID:23821540, Mahdieh 2018 PMID:29408779, Kong 2019 PMID:30619928, Long 2019 PMID:31139143, Brunklaus 2020 PMID:3209326, Gertler 2020 PMID:31864146, Lee 2020 32613771, Wang 2021 PMID:33278787). This variant is not present in large control databases. Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools for this variant are limited or unavailable. This variant is present in ClinVar, with several labs classifying this variant as pathogenic (Variation ID:189938).In vitro functional studies predict that this variant will impact the protein (Liu 2013 PMID:23821540). Of note, although this variant occurs in the splice region, computational prediction tools do not suggest that it alters splicing. In summary, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
