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 sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 535 of the SCN5A protein (p.Arg535Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs199473121, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with SCN5A-related conditions (PMID: 24349418, 28549997). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67672). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SCN5A function (PMID: 24349418, 34843967). 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. -

Reported in association with long QT syndrome and atrial fibrillation (PMID: 19716085, 24349418, 28549997); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Published functional studies suggest impaired sodium currents and authors propose a loss-of-function effect (PMID: 34843967); In silico analysis indicates that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26746457, 24349418, 28573431, 28549997, 34426522, 31963859, 35647048, 32180835, 34681161, 19716085, 34843967) -

This missense variant replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 535 of the SCN5A protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies have shown that this variant has mild impact on sodium channel function without affecting cell surface expression (PMID: 24349418, 34843967). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with long QT syndrome (PMID 24349418), atrial fibrillation (PMID: 28549997), and individuals referred for long QT syndrome testing (PMID: 19716085). This variant has been identified in 5/248026 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Variant summary: SCN5A c.1604G>A (p.Arg535Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the intracellular linker region between DI and DII in the alpha-subunit of a voltage-gated Na+ ion channel, cytoplasmic domain (IPR024583) of 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 2e-05 in 248026 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. The variant, c.1604G>A, has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with long QT syndrome 3 or atrial fibrillation (Kapplinger_2009, Fatima_2013, Van Driest SL_2016, Gregers_2017). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Cardiomyopathy. Fatima_2013 reports that the variant of LQTS-3 CM have a defective sodium channel which takes longer time for inactivation leading to persistent sodium current and the tendency for prolongation of action potential duration. Two ClinVar submissions (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant once as pathogenic and once as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The c.1604G>A (p.R535Q) alteration is located in exon 12 (coding exon 11) of the SCN5A gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1604, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 535 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
