RCV000485743 | SCV000565529 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2016-04-14 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the SCN2A gene. The E1688D variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant 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. This substitution alters a conserved position predicted to be in the extracellular loop between the S5 and S6 transmembrane segments of the fourth homologous domain. However, the E1688D variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. In silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. |
