SCN2A (Q99250) variants and mutations

SCN2A (also known as Q99250) is a human protein-coding gene encoding a sodium channel protein type 2 subunit alpha protein. The protein forms Nav1.2, a voltage-gated sodium channel that carries sodium current during neuronal action potentials. By shaping neuronal excitability and signal propagation, it supports brain circuits involved in development, learning, and seizure susceptibility. This analysis covers 3,433 SCN2A variants and mutations. Of these, 86% have computational variant effect predictions. Disease context includes developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 11, seizures, benign familial infantile, 3, and Seizure. Example SCN2A variants include M1?, M1L, and A2?.
