Description
The Y1769C variant that is likely pathogenic has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant 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. The Y1769C variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size, and/or other properties. This substitution alters a conserved position predicted to be within the transmembrane segment S6 of the fourth homologous domain of the SCN1A protein. A different missense variant at the same position (Y1769H) as well as missense variants in nearby residues (F1765L, I1771F/N, S1773F) have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with SCN1A-related disorders (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Therefore, this variant is likely pathogenic; however, the possibility that it is benign cannot be excluded.
