M438K has not been reported in gnomAD. This residue resides in a Hotspot region for Brugada syndrome and a Non_Hotspot region for LQT3.

Variant features alone are equivalent to phenotyping 3 individuals for Brugada syndrome and 0 individuals for LQT3.

In silico predictors

Variant-level computational predictors.
PROVEAN PolyPhen-2 BLAST-PSSM REVEL Penetrance Density BrS (%) Penetrance Density LQT3 (%)
NA NA NA 0.827 42 0

PROVEAN scores below -2 suggest deleterious impact. REVEL scores above 0.5–0.75 are often interpreted as likely pathogenic. PolyPhen-2 scores above 0.85 are typically pathogenic. Penetrance density summarises neighbouring residue risk (Kroncke et al. 2019).
