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

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Jun 13, 2023	Identified in patients with LQTS referred for genetic testing at GeneDx and in published literature (Wang et al., 1995; Splawski et al., 2000; Tester et al., 2005; Yong et al., 2007; Chung et al., 2007; Kapplinger et al., 2009; Anderson et al., 2017); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect using patch clamp studies that showed that N1325S results in abnormal channel current, and N1325S mouse cardiomyocytes showed contractile dysfunction, possibly caused by aberrant cardiomyocyte apoptosis (Dumaine et al., 1996; Wang et al., 1996; Tian et al., 2004; Yong et al., 2007; Zhang et al., 2011); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 14736542, 8541846, 19762097, 8917568, 10973849, 19716085, 17118339, 17490620, 17157817, 21677263, 17905336, 8620612, 15840476, 28412158) -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Sep 30, 2023	This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1325 of the SCN5A protein (p.Asn1325Ser). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with long QT syndrome (PMID: 8541846, 17905336, 28412158; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 9370). 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: 8620612, 8917568, 19762097). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.N1325S variant (also known as c.3974A>G), located in coding exon 22 of the SCN5A gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 3974. The asparagine at codon 1325 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been reported in multiple long QT syndrome (LQTS) cohorts and has been reported to segregate with disease in a large family (Wang Q, Hum. Mol. Genet. 1995 Sept;4(9):1603-7; Splawski I, Circulation 2000 Sep; 102(10):1178-85; Tester DJ, Heart Rhythm 2005 May; 2(5):507-17; Yong SL, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 2007 Jan; 352(2):378-83; Chung SK, Heart Rhythm 2007 Oct; 4(10):1306-14; Kapplinger JD, Heart Rhythm 2009 Sep; 6(9):1297-303). In addition, this alteration has been shown to have an impact on sodium channel current (Dumaine R, Circ. Res. 1996 May; 78(5):916-24; Tian XL, Cardiovasc. Res. 2004 Feb;61(2):256-67; Yong SL, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 2007 Jan; 352(2):378-83). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
