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]

Arg493Arg in exon 11 of SCN5A: This variant is not expected to have clinical sig nificance because it does not alter an amino acid residue and is not located wit hin the splice consensus sequence. It has been identified in 0.2% (8/3294) of Af rican American chromosomes from a broad population by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS; dbSNP rs138870926). -

Ambry Genetics
Significance: Likely benign
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
