GeneDx RCV000189156 SCV000242788 likely pathogenic not provided 2013-05-02 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing p.Leu1465Trp (TTG>TGG): c.4394 T>G in exon 24 of the SCN2A gene (NM_021007.2). The Leu1465Trp missense change has not been published as a mutation, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. It was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Although Leucine and Tryptophan are uncharged, non-polar amino acid residues, Tryptophan is a larger residue with an aromatic side chain. Leu1465Trp alters a highly conserved position in the S6 segment in the third transmembrane domain of the SCN2A protein and another missense mutation at a nearby codon (Ile1473Met) has been reported as a de novo mutation in an individual with sporadic neonatal epileptic encephalopathy, that was categorized as unclassified generalized epilepsy (Ogiwara et al., 2009). In addition, multiple in-silico algorithms predict Leu1465Trp is damaging to the structure/function of the protein. Therefore, based on the currently available information, Leu1465Trp is a strong candidate for a disease-causing mutation, although the possibility that it is a benign variant cannot be excluded. The variant is found in EPILEPSY panel(s).
