Pathogenic variants in the  SCN1A  gene are associated with a spectrum of epileptic disorders ranging in severity from familial febrile seizures to Dravet syndrome. Large proportions of reported pathogenic variants in  SCN1A  are annotated as missense variants and are often classified as variants of uncertain significance when no functional data are available. Although loss-of-function variants are associated with a more severe phenotype in  SCN1A , the molecular mechanism of single nucleotide variants is often not clear, and genotype-phenotype correlations in  SCN1A -related epilepsy remain uncertain. Coding variants can affect splicing by creating novel cryptic splicing sites in exons or by disrupting exonic cis-regulation elements crucial for proper pre-mRNA splicing. Here, we report a novel case of Dravet syndrome caused by an undescribed missense variant, c.4852G&amp;gt;A (p.(Gly1618Ser)). By midigene splicing assay, we demonstrated that the identified variant is in fact splice-affecting. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the functional investigation of a missense variant affecting splicing in Dravet syndrome.
