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]

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

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: 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. -

SCN5A-related disorder Uncertain:1
Jul 20, 2023
PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The SCN5A c.1538G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg513His. This variant was reported in an individual with sudden unexplained nocturnal death syndrome (Liu et al 2014. PubMed ID: 24529773). This variant was also reported in an individual with cardiomyopathy (Priganc et al 2016. PubMed ID: 27554632). This variant is reported in 0.0074% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/3-38645555-C-T). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

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

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 513 of the SCN5A protein (p.Arg513His). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with sudden unexplained nocturnal death syndrome and dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 24529773, 27554632). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 48285). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function outputs the following: PolyPhen-2: "Benign". The histidine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine
Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Arg513His in exon 12 of SCN5A: This variant is not expected to have clinical sig nificance due to a lack of conservation across species, including primates and o ther mammals. Of note, all other primates (chimp, gorilla, orangutan, and others ) have a histidine (His) at this position despite high nearby amino acid conserv ation. A disease modifying role of this variant cannot be excluded. -
