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]

Heterozygous variant NM_000335.5:c.361C>T (p.Arg121Trp) in the SCN5A gene was found on WES data in male proband (9 y.o., Caucasian) with Brugada syndrome. This genetic variant is in The Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) v4.1.0 with total MAF 0.000001859 (Date of access 23-09-2024). Clinvar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67807). This variant located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical and well-established functional domain (PM1_moderate according to Walsh R. et al. (PMID: 32893267). Most in silico predictors show pathogenic result of the protein change (varsome.com). Published functional studies demonstrate a significant reduction of sodium current and reduced amounts of sodium channels (Holst et al., 2010; Clatot et al., 2012). This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31737537, 26173111, 28449774, 20395683, 22739120, 23874304, 20129283, 25863800, 23123192, 19606473, 24136861, 25904541, 30662450). In accordance with ACMG (2015) criteria this variant is classified as Pathogenic with following criteria selected: PM2, PM5, PP3, PS3, PM1, PP5. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant disrupts the p.Arg121 amino acid residue in SCN5A. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 20129283, 24529773). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SCN5A function (PMID: 20395683, 22739120). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (PMID: 32533946) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt SCN5A function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67807). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Brugada syndrome (PMID: 19606473, 20129283, 20395683, 24136861, 26173111, 28449774). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 121 of the SCN5A protein (p.Arg121Trp). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.R121W variant (also known as c.361C>T), located in coding exon 2 of the SCN5A gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 361. The arginine at codon 121 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in association with Brugada syndrome (Kapplinger JD et al. Heart Rhythm, 2010 Jan;7:33-46; Hertz CL et al. Int. J. Legal Med., 2015 Jul;129:793-800; Leong KM et al. HeartRhythm Case Rep, 2017 Mar;3:167-171). This alteration was also reported in a proband and his father who both had cardiac conduction disease (Holst AG et al. Cardiology, 2010 Apr;115:311-6). In addition, functional studies demonstrate a reduction of sodium current and are consistent with a dominant negative effect through retention in the endoplasmic reticulum (Holst AG et al. Cardiology, 2010 Apr;115:311-6; Clatot J et al. Cardiovasc. Res., 2012 Oct;96:53-63). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

A heterozygous missense variant in exon 3 of the SCN5A gene that results in the amino acid substitution of Tryptophan for Arginine at codon 121 was detected. The observed variant c.361C>T (p.Arg121Trp) has not been reported in the 1000 genomes and gnomAD databases. The in silico prediction of the variant are damaging by SIFT, LRT and MutationTaster2. The reference codon is conserved across species. In summary, the variant meets our criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic. -
