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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1629*) in the SCN5A gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 388 amino acid(s) of the SCN5A protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs199473284, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Brugada syndrome (PMID: 20129283, 25829473). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 264276). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on gene product structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that this premature translational stop signal affects SCN5A function (PMID: 25829473). This variant disrupts a region of the SCN5A protein in which other variant(s) (p.Glu1823Hisfs*10) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 17897635, 18361072). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 28 of the SCN5A gene, creating a premature translation stop signal in the last exon. This variant alters the sequence of transmembrane domain DIV (a.a. 1524-1772) and C-terminal region (a.a. 1773-2016) and is expected to disrupt SCN5A protein function. This variant has been reported in two individuals affected with Brugada syndrome (PMID: 20129283, 25829473). This variant has been identified in 2/251298 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. -

The p.R1629* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.4885C>T), located in coding exon 27 of the SCN5A gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 4885. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 27. This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theSCN5A gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and impacts the last 19% of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and the impacted region is critical for protein function (Ambry internal data). This variant was identified in one or more individuals with features consistent with SCN5A-related arrhythmias and/or cardiomyopathy and segregated with disease in at least one family (Kapplinger JD et al. Heart Rhythm. 2010;7(1):33-46; Tan BY et al. Europace. 2015:1-8.doi:10.1093/europace/euv058; Ambry internal data). In assays testing SCN5A function, this variant showed a functionally abnormal result (Tan BY et al. Europace. 2015:1-8.doi:10.1093/europace/euv058; Ma D et al. Sci Rep. 2018;8:11246). Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
