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 Benign. Variant got -12 ACMG points.

• PP2: Missense variant in gene, where missense usually causes diseases (based on misZ statistic), SCN5A. . Gene score misZ: 2.7504 (greater than the threshold 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 4.8279 (greater than threshold 3.09). The gene has 99 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 60 curated benign missense variants. GenCC has associacion of the gene with progressive familial heart block, type 1A, Brugada syndrome, familial sick sinus syndrome, short QT syndrome, paroxysmal familial ventricular fibrillation, progressive familial heart block, long QT syndrome 3, familial atrial fibrillation, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, dilated cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy 1E, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, Brugada syndrome 1, atrial standstill, familial isolated dilated cardiomyopathy, familial long QT syndrome, sick sinus syndrome 1.
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.007048309).
• BP6: Variant 3-38604806-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr3-38604806-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 48284.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Uncertain_significance=3, Likely_benign=3, not_provided=1, Benign=12}. Variant chr3-38604806-G-A is described in Lovd as [Benign].
