Genes affected
SCN8A (HGNC:10596): (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 8) This gene encodes a member of the sodium channel alpha subunit gene family. The encoded protein forms the ion pore region of the voltage-gated sodium channel. This protein is essential for the rapid membrane depolarization that occurs during the formation of the action potential in excitable neurons. Mutations in this gene are associated with cognitive disability, pancerebellar atrophy and ataxia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

The majority of missense variants in this gene are considered pathogenic (Stenson et al., 2014); Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29235621, 30776697, 27864847, 29128679, 28923014, 29429461, 30171078, 30615093, 31402610, 32090326, 32040247) -

he variant is located in a well-established functional domain or exonic hotspot, where pathogenic variants have frequently reported (PM1_M). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000207119, PS1_S). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.75, 3CNET: 0.972, PP3_P). A missense variant is a common mechanism associated with Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 13 (PP2_P). It is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (PM2_M). TTherefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1475 of the SCN8A protein (p.Gly1475Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with epileptic encephalopathy (PMID: 27864847, 28923014, 30171078). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 207119). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on SCN8A protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SCN8A function (PMID: 30615093). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
