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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 15, 2024This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 48 of the SCN5A protein (p.Glu48Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs199473048, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of SCN5A-related conditions (PMID: 19716085, 30086531, 31737537). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67663). 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 tolerated. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect SCN5A function (PMID: 25904541). 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxNov 29, 2018The E48K variant has been reported previously in one individual who was referred for LQTS genetic testing, and was absent from more than 2,600 alleles from control individuals of various ethnic backgrounds (Kapplinger et al., 2009). The E48K variant was not observed in approximately 6,000 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. In addition, missense variants in nearby residues (R43Q, P52S, R53Q) have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with arrhythmia (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. The E48K variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. However, this substitution occurs at a position that is not conserved across species and Lysine is the wildtype amino acid at this position in at least one species. Furthermore, in silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is pathogenic or rare benign. -
Cardiac arrhythmia Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthFeb 05, 2024This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 48 of the SCN5A protein. Computational prediction tools indicate that this variant has a deleterious impact on protein structure and function. This variant is found within a highly conserved N-terminus domain (a.a. 1-131). Rare non-truncating variants in this region have been shown to be significantly overrepresented in individuals with Brugada syndrome (PMID: 32893267). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in two individuals suspected of being affected with Brugada syndrome (PMID: 31737537) and in an individual affected with sudden infant death (PMID: 30086531). This variant has been identified in 17/278150 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineJun 04, 2018Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The p.Glu48Lys vari ant in SCN5A has been reported in one individual with LQTS (Kapplinger 2009) and in 16/274964 of total chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, h ttp://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs199473048). Computational prediction to ols and conservation analysis do not provide strong support for or against an im pact to the protein; however, gorillas carry a lysine (Lys) at this position, ra ising the possibility that this change may be tolerated. In addition, in vitro s tudies suggest that this variant does not impact Nav1.5 channel function; howeve r, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function (Kappl inger 2015; Anderson 2017). In summary, while the clinical significance of the p.Glu48Lys variant is uncertain, these data suggest that it is more likely to be benign. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: BS1_supporting. -

This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 142, causing the glutamic acid (E) at amino acid position 48 to be replaced by a lysine (K). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
