Genes affected
SCN4A (HGNC:10591): (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 4) Voltage-gated sodium channels are transmembrane glycoprotein complexes composed of a large alpha subunit with 24 transmembrane domains and one or more regulatory beta subunits. They are responsible for the generation and propagation of action potentials in neurons and muscle. This gene encodes one member of the sodium channel alpha subunit gene family. It is expressed in skeletal muscle, and mutations in this gene have been linked to several myotonia and periodic paralysis disorders. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 669 of the SCN4A protein (p.Arg669His). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SCN4A function (PMID: 11102465, 11912116, 21881211, 25024265). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5911). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hypokalemic periodic paralysis (PMID: 10599760, 18162704, 21841462). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is present in population databases (rs80338784, gnomAD 0.009%).

The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant appears to occur de novo in multiple individuals with clinical features of hypokalemic periodic paralysis. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. (PMID: 11102465, 11912116, 21881211, 25024265) The variant is located in a region that is considered important for protein function and/or structure.
