RCV000422689 | SCV000533037 | likely pathogenic | not provided | 2016-11-02 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The C959R variant in the SCN2A gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The C959R 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. The C959R variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which occurs at a position that is conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. The C959R variant is a strong candidate for a pathogenic variant that may be related to the clinical features in this individual. However the possibility it may be a rare benign variant cannot be excluded. |
