Invitae RCV000636307 SCV000757746 pathogenic Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy with suppression bursts 2024-01-24 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1617 of the SCN8A protein (p.Arg1617Gln). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with epileptic encephalopathies (PMID: 23020937, 24888894, 25046240, 25568300, 25785782, 26029160, 29588952). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 156106). 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 with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SCN8A function (PMID: 26900580). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
