Description

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 1872 of the SCN8A protein (p.Arg1872Trp). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with early infantile epileptic encephalopathy (PMID: 24888894, 25568300, 25951352). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 207131). 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). 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: 25568300, 26029160). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
