GeneDx RCV000189085 SCV000242716 pathogenic not provided 2022-11-30 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect, as R946C leads to a complete loss of sodium ion channel function (Volkers et al., 2011); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Missense variants in this gene are often considered pathogenic (HGMD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This substitution is predicted to be within the pore forming loop between the S5 and S6 transmembrane segments of the second homologous domain; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 24168886, 18804930, 16458823, 23195492, 15277629, 15508916, 21248271, 30368457, 30805006, 21864321, 26096185, 19585586, 23884151, 27781031, 30868114, 30525188, 31864146, 32090326, 29573403, 33903184, 35663268, Bosselmann2022[computational], 35231114, 14738421)

Invitae RCV000636276 SCV000757715 pathogenic Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy with suppression bursts 2023-03-16 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Arg946 amino acid residue in SCN1A. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 21371021, 21864321, 23195492, 27781031). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SCN1A function (PMID: 21864321). 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 SCN1A protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 68604). This variant is also known as R936C. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Dravet syndrome (PMID: 14738421, 21864321, 23195492). 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 arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 946 of the SCN1A protein (p.Arg946Cys).
