Description
The p.V1667I variant (also known as c.4999G>A), located in coding exon 27 of the SCN5A gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 4999. The valine at codon 1667 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been reported in individuals with long QT syndrome (LQTS), including segregating with disease in two families (Piippo K et al. Am. J. Cardiol., 2001 Apr;87:909-11; Tester DJ et al. Heart Rhythm, 2005 May;2:507-17; Hekkala AM et al. Europace, 2010 Sep;12:1296-301; Määttänen I et al. J Psychosom Res, 2011 Oct;71:245-9; Määttänen I et al. Stress Health, 2013 Apr;29:150-5; Amin AS et al. Int J Cardiol, 2018 Sep;266:128-132; Nakajima T et al. J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol, 2020 Aug;31:2107-2115). Additionally, in vitro analysis showed this alteration may impact protein function (Nakajima T et al. J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol, 2020 Aug;31:2107-2115). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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 majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic.
