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]

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

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1225 of the SCN5A protein (p.Glu1225Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs199473204, gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Brugada syndrome (PMID: 22840528, 23321620, 24136861, 28341781, 28781330, 29574140, 30193851, 31737537). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67810). Invitae Evidence Modeling incorporating data from in vitro experimental studies (PMID: 32533946) did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on SCN5A function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SCN5A function (PMID: 34219138). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.E1225K variant (also known as c.3673G>A), located in coding exon 20 of the SCN5A gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 3673. The glutamic acid at codon 1225 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant has been reported in individuals with Brugada syndrome (Smits JP et al. J Am Coll Cardiol, 2002 Jul;40:350-6; Crotti L et al. J Am Coll Cardiol, 2012 Oct;60:1410-8; Sommariva E et al. Eur J Hum Genet, 2013 Sep;21:911-7; Van Malderen SCH et al. Circ J, 2017 Dec;82:53-61; Sonoda K et al. Heart Rhythm, 2018 Aug;15:1179-1188). In vitro studies showed this alteration reduces peak current density (Glazer AM et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2020 Jul;107:111-123; Ishikawa T et al. Eur Heart J, 2021 Jul;42:2854-2863; Salvarani N et al. Int J Mol Sci, 2023 May;24:[ePub ahead of print]). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

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

This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 1225 in the transmembrane domain DIII of the SCN5A protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). An electrophysiological functional study has shown that this variant results in partial loss of sodium channel function (PMID: 34219138). This variant has been reported in over ten individuals affected with Brugada syndrome (PMID: 22840528, 23321620, 24136861, 28341781, 28781330, 29574140, 30193851, 31737537, 34219138). This variant has been identified in 1/249528 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
