Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -1 ACMG points: 0P and 1B. BP6

The NM_001099404.2(SCN5A):​c.1714_1715delGCinsTT​(p.Ala572Phe) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. The variant is present in control chromosomes in GnomAd MNV project. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000239 in 67 alleles, including 0 homozygotes. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type MNV, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A572V) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.

Variant summary: SCN5A c.1714_1715delinsTT (p.Ala572Phe) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00024 in 280362 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The observed variant frequency is approximately 11 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in SCN5A causing Long QT Syndrome With Sudden Cardiac Death phenotype (2.1e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. c.1714_1715delinsTT has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Long QT Syndrome (Lieve_2013, Tsuda_2019), Sudden Cardiac Death (Albert_2010), Brugada syndrome (Righi_2021), and Dilated Cardiomyopathy (van Lint_2019). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. One publication examining the electrophysiological consequences of the variant in xenopus oocytes found the variant had currents similar in magnitude to WT: Voltage-dependent activation was unchanged but a hyperpolarizing shift was present in the midpoint of voltage-dependent inactivation compared with the WT, leading to faster recovery from inactivation (Albert_2010). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 180521). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign.
