Genes affected
SCN5A (HGNC:10593): (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 5) The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein and tetrodotoxin-resistant voltage-gated sodium channel subunit. This protein is found primarily in cardiac muscle and is responsible for the initial upstroke of the action potential in an electrocardiogram. Defects in this gene have been associated with long QT syndrome type 3 (LQT3), atrial fibrillation, cardiomyopathy, and Brugada syndrome 1, all autosomal dominant cardiac diseases. Alternative splicing results in several transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

Reported in patients with Brugada syndrome in published literature (PMID: 20129283, 30193851, 33164571); Published functional studies suggest a damaging effect through significantly reduced peak current and rightward shift compared to wild-type (PMID: 32533946); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 32268277, 28341781, 30662450, 19561025, 32893267, 34628405, 35305865, 33164571, 30193851, 20129283, 30203441, 32533946) -

Significance: Likely pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces valine with methionine at codon 1405 of the SCN5A protein. This variant is also known as p.Val1404Met in the literature based on a different NM_000335 transcript. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). This variant is found within a highly conserved region of the transmembrane domain DIII. Rare nontruncating variants in this region (a.a. 1207-1456) have been shown to be significantly overrepresented in individuals with Brugada syndrome (PMID: 32893267). Functional studies have shown that this variant causes partial loss of the sodium channel function (PMID: 34628405, 35305865). This variant has been reported in at least six unrelated individuals affected with Brugada syndrome (PMID: 19561025, 20129283, 28341781, 30193851, 32268277, 32893267, 34628405). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different missense variant occurring at the same codon, p.Val1404Leu, has also been reported in multiple individuals affected with Brugada syndrome (PMID: 20129283, 32893267). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Brugada syndrome 1 Uncertain:1
Jan 11, 2022
Dr. med. U. Finckh, Human Genetics, Eurofins MVZ
Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant has been described in two unrelated patients with Brugada syndrome (PMID 20129283). It is not present in gnomAD. Another missense variant of the same codon has also been described in a patient with Brugada syndrome (PMID 12106943) and is also not present in gnomAD. In silico tools predict the variant to impair protein function. Internal data: found in a proband with clinically suspected Brugada syndrome. Due to the lack of stronger evidence the variant is still classified as uncertain (with tendency towards a likely pathogenic role). -
