Description
The G274S variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. This variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The G274S 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. This substitution occurs at a highly conserved position in the S5 transmembrane helix in homologous domain 1, which lines the pore of the NaV1.5 channel. Consequently, in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Multiple missense variants in nearby residues (Q270K, N275K, L276P, L276Q, H278D, C280Y) have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with arrhythmia (Stenson et al., 2014). However, the full significance of these variants is unknown. In addition, this variant has been classified in ClinVar as a variant of uncertain significance by another clinical laboratory based on the lack of published case reports and functional studies in the literature (ClinVar SCV000255235.1, Landrum et al., 2016). Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is pathogenic or benign.
