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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 04, 2024	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg535*) in the SCN5A gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in SCN5A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20129283, 22789973). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.006%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with SCN5A-related arrhythmia (PMID: 12106943, 20129283, 23631430). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 517279). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The SCN5A c.1603C>T (p.Arg535Ter) nonsense variant results in the substitution of arginine at amino acid position 535 with a stop codon. Loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay is expected. Across a selection of the available literature, this variant has been identified in at least ten unrelated individuals - seven with Brugada syndrome, and one each with long QT syndrome, sudden infant death syndrome, and sudden adult cardiac death (PMID: 12106943; PMID: 15890323; PMID: 20031634; PMID: 20129283; PMID: 23631430; PMID: 25757662; PMID: 34076677). Segregation of the variant with the disorder was noted in at least one family (PMID: 20031634). This variant is reported in the Genome Aggregation Database in one allele at a frequency of 0.000056 in the East Asian population (version 2.1.1). Based on the available evidence, the c.1603C>T (p.Arg535Ter) variant is classified as pathogenic for SCN5A-related disorders. -

The p.Arg535X variant in SCN5A has been reported in at least 9 individuals (8 with Brugada syndrome and 1 referred for Long QT syndrome testing), and segregated with disease in 4 affected relatives from 1 family (Smits 2002, Keller 2005, Probst 2009, Meregalli 2009, Kapplinger 2010, Lieve 2013). This variant has also been reported by other clinical laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 517279) and has been identified in 0.006% (1/17212) of East Asian chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 535, which leads to a truncated protein that impacts protein function as shown by in vitro studies (Keller 2005). Heterozygous loss of function variants in the SCN5A gene have been reported in individuals with Brugada syndrome (Kapplinger 2010), DCM (Olson 2005), ventricular fibrillation (Chen 1998), as well as AV block and cardiac conduction defects (Baruteau 2012). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant Brugada syndrome. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PVS1, PM2, PS4_Moderate, PP1. -

The p.R535* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1603C>T), located in coding exon 11 of the SCN5A gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1603. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 11. This alteration has been reported in several Brugada syndrome (BrS) cohorts and has been shown to segregate with disease in one family (Probst V et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet. 2009;2:552-7; Kapplinger JD et al. Heart Rhythm. 2010;7:33-46). It has also been detected in long QT syndrome (LQTS) and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) cohorts (Lieve KV et al. Genet Test Mol Biomarkers. 2013;17:553-61; Winkel BG et al. Heart Rhythm. 2015;12:1241-9). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 12 of the SCN5A gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. A functional study has shown that this variant results in a truncated protein and leads to a complete loss of sodium current (PMID: 15890323). This variant has been reported in over ten individuals affected with Brugada syndrome (PMID: 12106943, 15890323, 16643399, 19251209, 20031634, 32893267, 35331424) or suspected of having Brugada syndrome (PMID: 20129283, 35352813), and in an individual affected with sudden infant death syndrome (PMID: 25757662). This variant has been identified in 1/247858 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of SCN5A function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
