Description
A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the SCN5A gene. The C683R variant has not been published as pathogenic or been reported as benign to our knowledge. However, this variant has been reported in one other unrelated individual referred for arrhythmia genetic testing at GeneDx. The C683R variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). The C683R variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. In-silico analyses, including protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, support a deleterious effect. Nevertheless, the C683R variant lacks observation in a significant number of affected individuals, segregation data, and functional evidence, which would further clarify its pathogenicity. Lastly, although missense variants at the same residue (C683G, C683S) have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (Stenson et al., 2014), the clinical significance of these variants is unknown.
