Description
p.Leu1342Pro (CTG>CCG):c.4025 T>C in exon 22 of the SCN2A gene (NM_021007.2). The Leu1342Pro missense change has not been published as a mutation, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. The NHLBI ESP Exome Variant Project has not identified Leu1342Pro in approximately 6,500 individuals of European or African American ethnicity, indicating that it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Although Leucine and Proline are both uncharged, non-polar amino acids, the gain of a bulky Proline residue could alter the secondary structure of the protein. Leu1342Pro alters a highly conserved position in the S5 segment of the third transmembrane domain, and multiple in silico algorithms predict it is damaging to protein structure/function. Therefore, based on the currently available information, Leu1342Pro is a strong candidate for a disease-causing mutation, although the possibility that it is a benign variant cannot be excluded. The variant is found in INFANT-EPI panel(s).
