Genes affected

NALCN (HGNC:19082): (sodium leak channel, non-selective) This gene encodes a voltage-independent, nonselective cation channel which belongs to a family of voltage-gated sodium and calcium channels that regulates the resting membrane potential and excitability of neurons. This family is expressed throughout the nervous system and conducts a persistent sodium leak current that contributes to tonic neuronal excitability. The encoded protein forms a channelosome complex that includes G-protein-coupled receptors, UNC-79, UNC-80, NCA localization factor-1, and src family tyrosine kinases. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy, infantile hypotonia with psychomotor retardation and characteristic facies (IHPRF) syndrome, and congenital contractures of the limbs and face with hypotonia and developmental delay (CLIFAHDD) syndrome. A knockout of the orthologous gene in mice results in paralysis with a severely disrupted respiratory rhythm, and lethality within 24 hours after birth. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2017]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 13-101229529-TA-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-101229529-TA-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 88686.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The c.1489delT variant in the NALCN gene has been reported previously in the homozygous state in three Saudi Arabian siblings with delayed speech development, infantile hypotonia, easily controlled seizure disorder, hyperactivity, chronic constipation, and cognitive delay (Al-Sayed et al., 2013). The c.1489delT variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Tyrosine 497, changes this amino acid to a Threonine residue, and creates a premature Stop codon at position 21 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Tyr497ThrfsX21. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The c.1489delT variant was not observed in approximately 6500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. We interpret c.1489delT as a pathogenic variant. -
