Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP2 PP3_Moderate

The NM_000334.4(SCN4A):​c.4479G>A​(p.Met1493Ile) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000342 in 1,461,888 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as no classification for the single variant (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. M1493V) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 14 uncertain in NM_000334.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 97 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 19 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.5606 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 2.2224 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to SCN4A-related myopathy, autosomal recessive, hyperkalemic periodic paralysis, paramyotonia congenita of Von Eulenburg, congenital myasthenic syndrome 16, acetazolamide-responsive myotonia, myotonia permanens, hypokalemic periodic paralysis, type 2, potassium-aggravated myotonia, congenital myopathy 22A, classic, congenital myopathy, myotonia fluctuans, postsynaptic congenital myasthenic syndrome, hypokalemic periodic paralysis.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.928
