GeneDx RCV003233101 SCV003931061 pathogenic not provided 2022-12-06 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Observed in multiple unrelated patients with infantile-onset epilepsy referred for genetic testing at GeneDx and in published literature (Ohmori et al., 2002); Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect as this variant alters the closing and extended opening of sodium channels, impairing normal channel function and subsequent neuron firing (Rhodes et al., 2004; Thompson et al., 2012); Additional functional studies in a drosophila model demonstrate that R1648C exhibits spontaneous and temperature-sensitive seizure activity, recapitulating the disease state (Roemmich et al., 2021); Missense variants in this gene are often considered pathogenic (HGMD); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31069529, 11567038, 25378155, 10742094, 31625145, Nisevic_2015_Review, 33236643, 30735520, 20735403, Giunti_2019_Abstract, 31782251, 31879226, 17054685, 32581296, 30038559, 22701429, 26544041, 15263074, 23086956, 18275929, 29573403, 32090326, 12083760, 34475263)
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV003588572 SCV004292115 pathogenic Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy with suppression bursts 2023-09-15 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Arg1648 amino acid residue in SCN1A. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10742094, 20522430). 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: 15263074, 23086956). 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: 68641). This variant is also known as C4912T (p.R1638C). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with severe myoclonic epilepsy in infancy (PMID: 12083760). 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 1648 of the SCN1A protein (p.Arg1648Cys).
