Description
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).
