Description
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 1932 of the SCN8A protein (p.Arg1932Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs773966403, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SCN8A-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 461349). 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 not expected to disrupt SCN8A protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
