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	Invitae	Jan 05, 2024	This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1501 of the SCN5A protein (p.Leu1501Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs199473266, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with long QT syndrome (PMID: 10973849, 19841300, 24721456, 30193851). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67904). 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 disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SCN5A function (PMID: 24573164). 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories	Sep 22, 2017	The p.Leu1501Val variant (rs199473266) has been reported in several individuals with long QT syndrome, a single individual with Brugada syndrome, and was absent from controls (Kapa 2014, Kapplinger 2009, Kapplinger 2010, Savastano 2014, and Splawski 2000). The p.Leu1501Val variant is listed in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) browser with an allele frequency of 0.0045% in the Non-Finnish European population (identified in 5 out of 111,706 chromosomes), and is classified as likely pathogenic in ClinVar (Variant ID: 67904). Functional evidence demonstrates that the p.Leu1501Val variant reduces SCN5A sodium channel peak current density when co-expressed with wild type SCN5A; however, the clinical relevance of this observation is unclear. The leucine at codon 1501 is highly conserved considering 9 species up to zebrafish (Alamut software v2.10.0), and computational analyses suggest that this variant affects the structure/function of the SCN5A protein (SIFT: damaging, PolyPhen2: probably damaging, MutationTaster: disease causing). While the p.Leu1501Val variant is a strong candidate for a likely pathogenic classification, the clinical significance cannot be determined with certainty because the functional data does not have a well-established connection to disease. -

The SCN5A c.4501C>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Leu1501Val. This variant has frequently been reported in the literature individuals with various cardiovascular phenotypes (Long QT/Brugada syndromes) (Splawski et al 2000. PubMed ID: 10973849; Table S2, Berthome et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30193851; Lacaze et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 34135346). This variant is reported in 0.0044% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/3-38597188-G-C). Taken together, this variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -

Variant summary: SCN5A c.4501C>G (p.Leu1501Val) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Ion transport domain of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 255846 control chromosomes. c.4501C>G has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Long QT Syndrome (e.g. Splawski_2000, Kapplinger_2009, Kapa_2009), Brugada Synrome (Kapplinger_2010, Crotti_2012), or SCD (Adabag_2010, Goldenberg_2011). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Experimental studies have shown that this variant leads to a reduction of peak current densities when co-expressed with wild-type SCN5A (Hoshi_2014). Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments (likely pathogenic n=2, VUS n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

The c.4501C>G (p.Leu1501Val) variant in the SCN5A has been observed in multiple individuals with Long QT syndrome (PMID: 10973849, 19841300) and one individual with Brugada syndrome (PMID: 24721456). In addition, experimental studies have shown that this missense change leads to altered SCN5A protein function (PMID: 24573164). Therefore, this variant in the SCN5A gene is classified as likely pathogenic. -

The c.4501C>G (p.L1501V) alteration is located in exon 26 (coding exon 25) of the SCN5A gene. This alteration results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 4501, causing the leucine (L) at amino acid position 1501 to be replaced by a valine (V). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This missense variant replaces leucine with valine at codon 1501 of the SCN5A protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). A functional study has shown that this variant may cause a reduction in sodium current density (PMID: 24573164). An RNA study has shown that this variant partially disrupts RNA splicing but due to the activation of a cryptic donor site but the mutant allele also produced the normal transcript (PMID: 30369311). This variant has been reported in four individuals with Brugada syndrome (PMID: 24721456, 30193851, 32533187, 33221895), two individuals with long QT syndrome (PMID: 10973849, 19841300), one individual with sudden cardiac death in his 70s (PMID: 34135346), as well as two asymptomatic individuals aged 70 years and older without a history of cardiovascular events (PMID: 34135346). This variant has been detected in a small family affected with Brugada syndrome, in which a variant in a different gene, but not this SCN5A variant, appeared to segregate with disease (PMID: 28494446). This variant has been identified in 5/251446 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Due to the conflicting clinical observations, the role of this variant in disease cannot be determined conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
