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.

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. 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. (I) 0201 - Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein (premature termination codon is located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0701 - Other NMD-predicted variant comparable to the one identified in this case have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity. NMD-predicted variants are well-reported as pathogenic in ClinVar and the literature (PMID: 18930999). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been classified as pathogenic by multiple clinical laboratories in ClinVar. It has also been reported in the literature de novo in an individual with Dravet syndrome (PMID: 18930999). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

The c.3985C>T (p.R1329*) alteration, located in coding exon 20 of the SCN1A gene, consists of a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 3985. This changes the amino acid from a Arginine (R) to a stop codon at amino acid position 1329. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Although loss of function alterations in SCN1A have been associated with Dravet syndrome, haploinsufficiency for SCN1A has not been established as a mechanism of disease for SCN1A-related developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, SCN1A-related hemiplegic migraine, and SCN1A-related GEFS+. Based on the available evidence, the SCN1A c.3985C>T (p.R1329*) alteration is classified as pathogenic for Dravet syndrome; however, its clinical significance for SCN1A-related developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, SCN1A-related hemiplegic migraine, and SCN1A-related GEFS+ is unclear. This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This alteration has been reported in multiple individuals with Dravet syndrome (Demos, 2019; Depienne, 2009; Gertler, 2020; Selmer, 2009; Zuberi, 2011). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 206816). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Dravet syndrome (PMID: 18930999, 25754450). 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 creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1329*) 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). -
