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]

Reported in one patient referred for LQTS genetic testing and in another patient with an abnormal QTc (Kapplinger et al., 2009; Sanecka et al., 2015); Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26412604, 28412158, 25904541, 19716085)

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 53 of the SCN5A protein (p.Arg53Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs199473049, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with long-QT syndrome (PMID: 28412158). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67670). 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. 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.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.R53Q variant (also known as c.158G>A), located in coding exon 1 of the SCN5A gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 158. The arginine at codon 53 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been reported in association with long QT syndrome (Kapplinger JD et al. Heart Rhythm, 2009 Sep;6:1297-303; Itoh H et al. Eur J Hum Genet, 2016 Aug;24:1160-6). This alteration has also been reported in a subject with syncope and epilepsy who also carried a missense alteration in KCNH2 (Sanecka A et al. Cardiol J, 2016 Sep;23:34-41). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 53 of the SCN5A protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with long QT syndrome (PMID:19716085). This variant has been identified in 3/247084 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.
