Description
This missense variant replaces arginine with histidine at codon 376 of the SCN5A protein. This variant is found within the highly conserved pore-forming region of transmembrane domain DI (a.a. 277-389). Rare nontruncating variants in this region have been shown to be significantly overrepresented in individuals with Brugada syndrome (PMID: 32893267). Functional studies have shown that this variant significantly reduces sodium channel currents (PMID: 15851228, 21840964, 24295898, 26713557). This variant has shown a highly variable phenotypic presentation ranging from Brugada syndrome to conduction disease in 9 members from a single family (PMID: 15851228). This variant has been reported in multiple other individuals affected with Brugada syndrome or referred for Brugada syndrome genetic testing (PMID: 16344400, 20129283, 28341781, 29709101) in an individual affected with atrial fibrillation (PMID: 18378609) and in individuals affected with sudden death (PMID: 23671135, 25194972, 27930701). This variant has been identified in 2/247596 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.
