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]

Variant summary: SCN5A c.2437-13C>T alters a non-conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 4/4 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00089 in 243782 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0014 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 14 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in SCN5A causing Arrhythmia phenotype (0.0001), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Non-Finnish European origin. c.2437-13C>T has been reported in the literature (example: Millat_2009, McNair_2011). These reports however, do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Arrhythmia. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as likely benign (n=3) or uncertain significance (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

c.2437-13C>T in intron 16 of SCN5A: This variant is not expected to have clinic al significance because a C>T change at this position does not diverge from the splice consensus sequence and is therefore unlikely to impact splicing. It has b een identified in 0.1% (89/57696) of European chromosomes by the Exome Aggregati on Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs45455099). -

Brugada syndrome 1 Uncertain:1

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. -
