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]

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineJan 02, 2015p.Thr220Ile in exon 6 of SCN5A: This variant has was initially believed to be di sease causing based on its detection 12 probands with a range of SCN5-related di sorders (CSD, DCM, LQTS) and absence from controls (Benson 2003, Olson 2005, Kap plinger 2010, Oleson 2012, Crottie 2013, GeneDx, pers. comm.) as well as some in vitro functional data (Benson 2003, Butters 2010, Gui 2010). However, the varia nt is unlikely disease causing on its own based on its frequency in the general population (detected in 0.7% (30/4290) of European (Finnish) chromosomes and 0.1 % (46/43544) European (Non-Finnish) chromosomes screened by the Exome Aggregatio n Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs45620037). It remain s possible that the Thr220Ile variant represents a modifier or risk allele. -

Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingStanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease, Stanford UniversityMar 12, 2012Note this variant was found in clinical genetic testing performed by one or more labs who may also submit to ClinVar. Thus any internal case data may overlap with the internal case data of other labs. The interpretation reviewed below is that of the Stanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease. p.Thr220Ile (c.659 C>T) in the SCN5A gene (NM_198056.2) Given the abundance of case data, it seems likely that this variant contributes to disease in some fashion. What is challenging is determining whether it is sufficient on its own to cause disease or whether it is a modifer of some sort, given the presence of another variant in several reported cases and the presence of the variant in general population samples. Given this, we consider this variant a variant of uncertain significance, probably disease causing. The variant has been seen in one patient with sick sinus syndrome who was a compound heterozygote for this variant and a nonsense variant, one family with familial DCM, two patients with Brugada (one was a compound heterozygote for this variant and another missense variant), one patient with early-onset lone atrial fibrillation, two unrelated cases of pediatric onset atrial standstill (both cases were compound heterozygotes), one case of intrauterine death, one case of sudden unexplained death, and one case of irritable bowel syndrome. Using a candidate gene approach, Benson et al (2003) sequenced SCN5A in 10 patients with pediatric onset sick sinus syndrome from 7 families. Probands from three of the families were compound heterozygotes for two SCN5A variants (6 variants in total). One proband inherited p.Thr220Ile from his father and p.Arg1623Ter from his mother. His mother and two other maternal relatives who carry p.Arg1623Ter have first degree heart block. The two other maternal relatives also had prolonged QRS. His father was not available for study, however the paternal grandmother carried p.Thr220Ile and had a normal evaluation. Ancestry is not noted. The researchers are from various American academic medical centers. Olson et al (2005) observed the variant in one of 156 unrelated patients with DCM who underwent analysis of SCN5A. The patient had familial DCM (ischemic disease was ruled out) with atrial fibrillation and heart block. He never had documented ventricular tachycardia. The authors do not note if an arrhythmic phenotype preceded the cardiomyopathic phenotype. A first cousin had DCM, incomplete bundle branch block and also carried the variant. Ancestry is not noted. The patients were seen at Mayo in Minnesota or Latter Day Saints in Utah. The variant is reported in a compendium of SCN5A variants seen in individuals referred for Brugada syndrome genetic testing at various centers around the world (Kapplinger et al 2010). The authors note that patients were included if the physician who referred for genetic tesitng had made a possible or definite diagnosis of Brugada. Phenotype was not confirmed by the investigators so presumably some individuals included in the compendium do not in fact have Brugada syndrome. Two patients carried the variant. One patient was studied by the Brugada group and the other was studied by a Dutch group (likely same case reported by the Dutch group in Amin et al 2011). One patient also carried another SCN5A variant, p.Glu439Lys. He was diagnosed with Brugada at 26 years of age. Oleson et al (2012) observed the variant in 1 of 192 individuals with early onset lone atrial fibrillation. The patient had paroxysmal lone atrial fibrillation starting at 35 years of age. QTc was 422 ms, sodium blocking challenge (ex. Procainamide) was not done, and there was no family history of atrial fibrillation. Individual ancestry is not reported, but the subjects were recruited in Denmark. At the 2014 HRS meeting Baskar et al reported an 11yo girl with atrial standstill who was a compound heterozygote for this variant and a frameshift in SCN5A. The missense variant was inherited fr -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJan 30, 2024Variant summary: SCN5A c.659C>T (p.Thr220Ile) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Ion-transport domain (IPR005821) 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 0.00065 in 250790 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 6.5-fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in SCN5A causing Arrhythmia phenotype (0.0001), suggesting that the variant is benign. c.659C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Arrhythmia and other cardiac phenotypes (e.g. Benson_2003, Olson_2005, Kapplinger_2010, Amin_2011, Olesen_2012, Baskar_2014, Celestino-Soper_2015, Ceyhan-Birsoy_2015, Marschall_2019, Raju_2019), but without strong evidence for causality. In several of the reports, the variant was identified in unaffected family members, indicating that the variant may not co-segregate with disease (e.g. Benson_2003, Baskar_2014). In addition, co-occurrences with other pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants have been reported [SCN5A c.3142_3153delins11 (Baskar_2014); SCN5A p.Arg1623X (Benson_2003); SCN5A c.3512-1G>C (internal sample)], providing supporting evidence for a benign role. Several publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function and indicate that the variant may alter the properties or functions of sodium channels to varying degrees in-vitro (e.g. Benson_2003, Butters_2010, Gui_2010). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 15671429, 20129283, 14523039, 20539757, 20448214, 22677073, 21273195, 24055113, 23571586, 22685113, 25637381, 24784157, 24762805, 25171853, 26636822, 27066507, 24613995, 31737537, 31337358, 32048431). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 9396). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
