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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a repeat IV (size 297) in uniprot entity SCN8A_HUMAN there are 10 pathogenic changes around while only 1 benign (91%) in NM_001330260.2
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• 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, infantile convulsions and choreoathetosis, cognitive impairment with or without cerebellar ataxia, undetermined early-onset epileptic encephalopathy, complex neurodevelopmental disorder, developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 13, benign familial infantile epilepsy, seizures, benign familial infantile, 5.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.961
• PP5: Variant 12-51794633-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-51794633-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 253290.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr12-51794633-C-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 253290). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with SCN8A-related conditions (PMID: 25785782, 26252990). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 1596 of the SCN8A protein (p.Ser1596Cys). 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. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
