RCV004018073 | SCV004847644 | likely pathogenic | Brugada syndrome | 2023-08-09 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.Ile1466LeufsX15 variant in SCN5A has not been previously reported in individuals with SCN5A-associated disorders but was identified in 0.002% (1/41476) African/African American chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org, v.3.1.2). This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 1466 and leads to a premature termination codon 15 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the SCN5A gene is an established disease mechanism in Brugada syndrome. However, it should be noted that additional phenotypes related to SCN5A loss of function (including long QT syndrome, atrial fibrillation, and other arrhythmias) have been described (Remme 2013 PMID: 23818691). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant Brugada syndrome.
