Genes affected
SCN10A (HGNC:10582): (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 10) The protein encoded by this gene is a tetrodotoxin-resistant voltage-gated sodium channel alpha subunit. The properties of the channel formed by the encoded transmembrane protein can be altered by interaction with different beta subunits. This protein may be involved in the onset of pain associated with peripheral neuropathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2014]

Reported in individuals with atrial fibrillation, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), AV nodal reentrant tachycardia, sudden cardiac arrest, or diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) many of whom also harbored the p.(R814H) variant in the SCN10A gene in either cis or unknown configuration (PMID: 25053638, 25691686, 26733327, 28407228, 29396561); Published functional studies demonstrated that p.(Y158D) generates a peak sodium current approximately two times larger than wild-type SCN10A channels, and when co-expressed with p.(R814H), the magnitude of the peak current was close to the sum of the average value of the peak currents of each variant expressed individually, such that both variants are reported to contribute to the electrical property of the channel; however, additional studies are needed to validate the functional effect of this variant in vivo (PMID: 25053638); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; In silico analysis is inconclusive as to whether the variant alters gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25053638, 26733327, 28407228, 29396561, 34426522, 37194601, 37175987, 25691686) -

The p.Tyr158Asp has been reported on the same chromosome together with p. Arg814His, constituting a complex variant p.[Tyr158Asp, Arg814His] in several adult individuals with atrial fibrillation/polarization abnormality (Savio-Galimberti 2014, Jabbari 2015, Te Riele 2016). The Tyr158Asp and Arg814His variants were also identified in the study of patients with AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (Andreasen 2018). Savio-Galimberti et al. (2014) reported two families with possible variable penetrance and also showed that that these variants were associated with 2- and 4-fold increase in peak currents in a transient transfection and expression experiments in ND7/23 cells. Both Tyr158Asp and Arg814His variants are listed in gnomAD at population frequencies 0.04 and 0.05%, higher than expected for a pathogenic variant (Kobayashi 2017). Both variants are listed in ClinVar with current classification of uncertain significance (Variant ID 463260 and 420025). Thus, based on the available evidence, the complex variant p.[Tyr158Asp, Arg814His] was classified as of uncertain significance. -

Variant summary: SCN10A c.472T>G (p.Tyr158Asp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. In addition, the variant affects the second nucleotide of exon 5, therefore might also impact splicing. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Three predict the variant no significant impact on splicing. One predict the variant weakens a 3' acceptor site. Two predict the variant creates a 3' acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0004 in 1606700 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00049 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygote. This frequency is not higher than the estimated maximum for a pathogenic variant in SCN10A, allowing no conclusion about variant significance. Of note, this variant is typically reported in the literature as a complex (i.e. on the same allele) as c.2441G>A (p.Arg814His), and variant co-occurrence analysis in gnomAD indicates that these two missense variants are on the same haplotype in most individuals. The two missense variants c.472T>G (p.Tyr158Asp) and c.2441G>A (p.Arg814His) has been observed together in individuals affected with SCN10A-Related Disorders, including arrhythmia and neuropathy, however no segregation evidence was provided to support causality (e.g. Savio-Galimberti_2014, Jabbari_2015, TeRiele_2016, Almomani_2023). At least one publication reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, and demonstrated that both missense variants in isolation and together as a complex, affected sodium channel function, resulting in increased currents, and the two missense seemed to result in an additive effect when expressed together (Savio-Galimberti_2014), however, these results do not allow convincing conclusions about the variant effect. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 25053638, 25691686, 26733327, 37175987). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 463260). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 158 of the SCN10A protein (p.Tyr158Asp). This variant is present in population databases (rs202192818, gnomAD 0.04%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy and/or atrial fibrillation (PMID: 25053638, 25691686, 26733327). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 463260). 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 SCN10A function (PMID: 25053638). 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. -

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. -
