GeneDx RCV000189287 SCV000242919 uncertain significance not provided 2013-10-23 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing p.Cys1806Tyr (TGT>TAT): c.5417 G>A in exon 27 of the SCN8A gene (NM_014191.3). The Cys1806Tyr missense change has not been published as a mutation, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. It was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. This variant is a semi-conservative substitution as Cysteine and Tyrosine are both uncharged, polar amino acids; however, the removal of a Cysteine, which effects disulfide bonding, may alter the secondary structure of the protein. The variant alters a position that is not highly conserved across species. In silico analysis is inconsistent with regard to the effect this variant may have on the protein structure/function. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether Cys1806Tyr is a disease-causing mutation or a rare benign variant. The variant is found in EPILEPSY panel(s).
