RCV003754435 | SCV004437026 | likely pathogenic | Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy with suppression bursts | 2023-01-22 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Ala408 amino acid residue in SCN8A. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 26993267, 31026061). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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 SCN8A protein function. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SCN8A-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 408 of the SCN8A protein (p.Ala408Ser). |
