ClinGen Epilepsy Sodium Channel Variant Curation Expert Panel, Clingen RCV003992248 SCV005061733 pathogenic Complex neurodevelopmental disorder 2024-05-09 reviewed by expert panel curation The c.5615G>A variant in SCN8A is a missense variant predicted to cause a subtitution of arginine by glutamine at amino acid 1872 (p.Arg1872Gln). This variant has been reported as de novo in at least 3 individuals with unconfirmed parental relationships (PMIDs: 2664715, 28333917, 28387369) (PM6) and at least an additional 8 individuals without informative segregation data available (PMIDs: 25568300, 29655203, 29930392, 32509551, 34395220, 30968951) (PS4). Multiple other amino acid substitutions at the same amino acid position have been previously reported and meet pathogenic per these criteria (p.Arg1872Gly, p.Arg1872Trp, p.Arg1872Leu) (PM5). Heterologous expression with voltage clamping assay has shown significant hyperpolarizing shift in voltage dependence of activation and significant depolarizing shift of voltage dependence of fast inactivation (PS3). The variant is rare (1 allele) in the population database, gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant complex neurodevelopmental disorder based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Epilepsy Sodium Channel VCEP: PS4, PM6, PM5, PS3, PM2_Supporting (version 1.0; approved 5/23/23).
GeneDx RCV000523884 SCV000617110 pathogenic not provided 2020-05-07 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Published functional studies demonstrate hyperactivity of the sodium channel by impairing channel inactivation (Wagnon et al., 2016); Missense variants in this gene are often considered pathogenic (Stenson et al., 2014); This substitution is predicted to be within the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26029160, 24194747, 25568300, 26647175, 26900580, 28387369, 29574705, 29100083, 28333917, 30968951, 30185235, 31077350, 30552426, 32090326, 32509551)
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000704631 SCV000833587 pathogenic Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy with suppression bursts 2022-07-18 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Arg1872 amino acid residue in SCN8A. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 24888894, 25951352, 26029160, 26900580, 27779742). 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 SCN8A function (PMID: 26900580). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 253297). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with epileptic encephalopathy (PMID: 25568300, 26647175, 26900580, 28387369). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1872 of the SCN8A protein (p.Arg1872Gln).
