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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points.

PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 4 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 4 uncertain in NM_001330260.2
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PM5
Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr12-51765800-G-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 2850924.
PP2
Missense variant in the SCN8A gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 213 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 45 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.78755 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 10.436 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to myoclonus, familial, 2, developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 13, undetermined early-onset epileptic encephalopathy, benign familial infantile epilepsy, complex neurodevelopmental disorder, seizures, benign familial infantile, 5, cognitive impairment with or without cerebellar ataxia, infantile convulsions and choreoathetosis.
PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.915
PP5
Variant 12-51765801-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-51765801-T-C is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 1721320.

Has been reported in a patient with early onset infantile spasms which progressed to generalized tonic-clonic seizures and epileptic encelphalopathy with global developmental delay and hypotonia (Keshri et al., 2022); This substitution is predicted to be within the transmembrane segment S5 of the second homologous domain; Missense variants in this gene are often considered pathogenic (HGMD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 35188110) -

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 892 of the SCN8A protein (p.Val892Ala). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt SCN8A protein function. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SCN8A-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). -
