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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4, offset of 11, new splice context is: attctgcacgtatgtatcAGaaa. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 3-38614067-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-38614067-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 488728.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_pathogenic=1, Uncertain_significance=1}.

A variant of unknown significance has been identified in an alternate transcript of the SCN5A gene. Although the c.612-1 G>C variant has not been reported as a pathogenic or benign to our knowledge, it is predicted to destroy the canonical splice acceptor site in intron 5 and may cause abnormal gene splicing. Additionally, the c.612-1 G>C variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). Nonetheless, there is limited information about the clinical significance of variants on this alternate transcript. No splice site or loss-of-function variants in this transcript of the SCN5A gene have been reported in HGMD in association with disease (Stenson et al., 2014). -
