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]

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces arginine with tryptophan at codon 1991 of the SCN5A protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with SCN5A-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 4/250112 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. -

Variant summary: SCN5A c.5971C>T (p.Arg1991Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in 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 1.7e-05 in 236668 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.5971C>T in individuals affected with Arrhythmia and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 25904541). Five clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 1991 of the SCN5A protein (p.Arg1991Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs371308670, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of SCN5A-related conditions (internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 345112). 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. This variant disrupts the p.Arg1991 amino acid residue in SCN5A. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with SCN5A-related conditions (PMID: 17438610), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. 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. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.5971C>T variant in SCN5A has not previously been reported in the literature and it has been deposited in ClinVar [ClinVar ID: 345112] as variant of uncertain significance by multiple submitters for SCN5A-related disorders. The c.5971C>T variant is observed in 4 alleles (~0.001% minor allele frequency with 0 homozygotes) in population databases (gnomAD v2.1.1 and v3.1.2), suggesting it is not a common benign variant in the populations represented in those databases which might also include individuals with cardiac disorders. The c.5971C>T variant in SCN5A is located in exon 28 of this 28-exon gene, and is predicted to replace an evolutionarily not-highly-conserved arginine amino acid with tryptophan at position 1991 (p.(Arg1991Trp)) in the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain of the encoded protein. In silico predictions are not in favor of damaging effect for the p.(Arg1991Trp) variant [CADD v1.6 = 23.5, REVEL = 0.388]; however, there are no functional studies to support or refute these predictions. Based on available evidence this c.5971C>T p.(Arg1991Trp) variant identified in SCN5A is classified as Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
