Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 19 ACMG points: 19P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_001040142.2(SCN2A):c.647T>G(p.Leu216Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 11/17 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. L216S) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

SCN2A (HGNC:10588): (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 2) Voltage-gated sodium channels are transmembrane glycoprotein complexes composed of a large alpha subunit with four repeat domains, each of which is composed of six membrane-spanning segments, and one or more regulatory beta subunits. Voltage-gated sodium channels function in the generation and propagation of action potentials in neurons and muscle. This gene encodes one member of the sodium channel alpha subunit gene family. Allelic variants of this gene are associated with seizure disorders and autism spectrum disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2016]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 19 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 11 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 3 uncertain in NM_001040142.2
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr2-165309393-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 2444039.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, SCN2A
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.946
• PP5: Variant 2-165309393-T-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-165309393-T-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 207088.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 207088). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with SCN2A-related conditions (PMID: 30109124; Invitae). 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 replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 216 of the SCN2A protein (p.Leu216Trp). -

The Leu216Trp missense change has not been published as a mutation, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. The NHLBI ESP Exome Variant Project has not identified Leu216Trp in approximately 5,000 individuals of European or African American ethnicity, indicating that it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Although both Leucine and Tryptophan are non-polar, Tryptophan is a larger residue with an aromatic side chain. The Leu216Trp substitution alters a highly conserved position in the S4 segment of the first transmembrane domain of the protein, and a different mutation in this same segment has been published in association with benign familial neonatal-infantile seizures (BFNIS) (Berkovic et al., 2004). Additionally, multiple in silico algorithms predict that Leu216Trp is damaging to protein structure/function. Therefore, Leu216Trp is a strong candidate for a disease-causing mutation, although the possibility that it is a benign variant cannot be excluded at present. The variant is found in INFANT-EPI panel(s). -
