Ambry Genetics | RCV002315354 | SCV000849160 | uncertain significance | Inborn genetic diseases | 2017-02-27 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.Q1999* variant (also known as c.5995C>T), located in coding exon 26 of the SCN1A gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 5995. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 26. Premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature, however, this stop codon occurs at the 3' terminus and is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This alteration impacts only the last 11 amino acids of the protein. The exact functional impact of these removed amino acids is unknown at this time. This variant did not co-segregate with disease in one individual tested in our laboratory. Based on the evidence at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. |
