Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PP3_ModeratePP5
The NM_001037.5(SCN1B):c.623A>T(p.Lys208Ile) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000013 in 1,614,058 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. K208Q) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Submissions by phenotype
Brugada syndrome Pathogenic:1
This variant, c.623A>T in SCN1B, is classified as Likely pathogenic based on ACMG criteria: - PM1 (Moderate): Located in a critical functional domain of the β1 subunit important for cardiac sodium channel regulation, with known pathogenic variants reported in this region. - PM2 (Moderate): Absent or extremely rare in population databases (e.g., gnomAD), supporting rarity incompatible with benign variation. - PM6 (Moderate): Evidence suggests possible de novo occurrence in the affected individual without family history, supporting pathogenicity. - PP3 (Supporting): Multiple computational tools predict deleterious effect on protein function and conservation across species. Together, these criteria support a Likely pathogenic classification. The variant was identified in a patient with Brugada syndrome, consistent with SCN1B’s role in cardiac excitability and arrhythmia. -
Brugada syndrome 5 Uncertain:1
The SCN1B gene has multiple clinically relevant transcripts. This variant occurs in alternate transcript NM_001037.5, and corresponds to NM_199037.3:c.*5569A>T in the primary transcript. This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 208 of the SCN1B protein (p.Lys208Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs780958012, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with febrile seizures (PMID: 19522081). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 470174). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
The p.K208I variant (also known as c.623A>T), located in coding exon 5 of the SCN1B gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 623. The lysine at codon 208 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant was reported in individual(s) with features consistent with epilepsy (Orrico A et al. Clin Genet, 2009 Jun;75:579-81; Truty R et al. Epilepsia Open, 2019 Sep;4:397-408; Yacoub AM et al. Neurol Sci, 2025 Feb;46:899-910). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
