Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 17 ACMG points: 17P and 0B. PM6PM2_SupportingPM5_StrongPS3PS4PP3_Moderate

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.5615G>A variant in SCN8A is a missense variant predicted to cause a subtitution of arginine by glutamine at amino acid 1872 (p.Arg1872Gln). This variant has been reported as de novo in at least 3 individuals with unconfirmed parental relationships (PMIDs: 2664715, 28333917, 28387369) (PM6) and at least an additional 8 individuals without informative segregation data available (PMIDs: 25568300, 29655203, 29930392, 32509551, 34395220, 30968951) (PS4). Multiple other amino acid substitutions at the same amino acid position have been previously reported and meet pathogenic per these criteria (p.Arg1872Gly, p.Arg1872Trp, p.Arg1872Leu) (PM5). Heterologous expression with voltage clamping assay has shown significant hyperpolarizing shift in voltage dependence of activation and significant depolarizing shift of voltage dependence of fast inactivation (PS3). The variant is rare (1 allele) in the population database, gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant complex neurodevelopmental disorder based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Epilepsy Sodium Channel VCEP: PS4, PM6, PM5, PS3, PM2_Supporting (version 1.0; approved 5/23/23).

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]
