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]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

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. An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant  is likely to be tolerated. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 463296). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of SCN5A-related conditions (PMID: 31737537, 32145446, 32880476). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 433 of the SCN5A protein (p.Arg433His).

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces arginine with histidine at codon 433 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 reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with dilated cardiomyopathy, sudden infant death syndrome and suspected long QT syndrome (PMID: 31737537, 32145446, 32880476). This variant has been identified in 1/248396 chromosomes 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.

The p.R433H variant (also known as c.1298G>A), located in coding exon 9 of the SCN5A gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1298. The arginine at codon 433 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been reported in different cohorts, including a long QT syndrome cohort, a dilated cardiomyopathy cohort, a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy cohort, and a sudden infant death cohort; however, clinical details were limited in these cases (Marschall C et al. Cardiovasc Diagn Ther, 2019 Oct;9:S292-S298; Verdonschot JAJ et al. Circ Genom Precis Med, 2020 10;13:476-487; Liebrechts-Akkerman G et al. Forensic Sci Int Genet, 2020 05;46:102266; Bonaventura J et al. J Am Heart Assoc, 2024 May;13:e033565). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
