Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 1 ACMG points: 3P and 2B. PM2 PP2 BP4_Moderate

The NM_001099404.2(SCN5A):c.889G>A(p.Asp297Asn) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000822 in 1,460,398 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/23 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. D297D) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 1 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, SCN5A
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.13842636).

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Molecular Diagnostic Laboratory for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease, Montreal Heart Institute	Jun 17, 2019	- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Nov 23, 2022	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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The asparagine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 201446). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of longQT syndrome (Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 297 of the SCN5A protein (p.Asp297Asn). -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Jun 03, 2013	p.Asp297Asn (GAC>AAC): c.889 G>A in exon 7 of the SCN5A gene (NM_198056.2) The Asp297Asn variant in the SCN5A gene has not been reported as a disease-causing mutation or as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. Although Asp297Asn results in a non-conservative amino acid substitution of a negatively charged Aspartic acid with a neutral Asparagine, this substitution occurs at a position that is not well conserved across species. Consequently, in silico analysis predicts Asp297Asn is benign to the protein structure/function. However, mutations in nearby residues (Gly292Ser, Val294Met, Val300Ile) have been reported in association with Brugada syndrome, supporting the functional significance of this region of the protein. Additionally, the Asp297Asn variant was not observed in approximately 6000 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations.With the clinical and molecular information available at this time, we cannot definitively determine if Asp297Asn is a disease-causing mutation or a rare benign variant. The variant is found in LQT panel(s). -

This missense variant replaces aspartic acid with asparagine at codon 297 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 performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual from an unselected cohort that participated in an association study of variants in SCN5A and KCNH2 with phenotypes documented in electronic medical records (PMID: 26746457). This variant has not been identified 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. -
