Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -6 ACMG points: 0P and 6B. BP4_ModerateBS2
The NM_005477.3(HCN4):c.3130C>T(p.Arg1044Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000275 in 1,273,714 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R1044Q) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Sick sinus syndrome 2, autosomal dominant Uncertain:1
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. -
Brugada syndrome 8 Uncertain:1
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. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt HCN4 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 580858). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) as well as in control subjects (PMID: 21615589). This variant is present in population databases (rs553950644, gnomAD 0.02%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 1044 of the HCN4 protein (p.Arg1044Trp). -
Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
The p.R1044W variant (also known as c.3130C>T), located in coding exon 8 of the HCN4 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 3130. The arginine at codon 1044 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
