SCN5A Variant E1208K Detail

We estimate the penetrance of LQTS for SCN5A E1208K around 26% and the Brugada syndrome penetrance around 6%. SCN5A E1208K was found in a total of 4 carriers in 1 papers and/or in gnomAD: 0 had Brugada syndrome, 1 had LQTS. E1208K is present in 3 alleles in gnomAD. E1208K has been functionally characterized in 2 papers. This residue is located in a Non_Hotspot region for Brugada syndrome and a Mild_Hotspot region for LQTS. In silico predictions, functional data (if available), and location in structure are equivalent to phenotyping 10 individuals for Brugada syndrome (0 diagnosed with Brugada syndrome) and 5 individuals for LQTS (1 with LQTS). These data combined with observations of carriers lead us to estimate the LQTS penetrance for SCN5A E1208K around 26% (2/14) and the Brugada syndrome penetrance around 6% (0/14).

In Silico Data

PROVEAN PolyPhen-2 BLAST-PSSM REVEL Penetrance Density BrS (%) Penetrance Density LQT3 (%)
-3.91 0.974 -0.87 0.867 3 35
PROVEAN scores less than -2 are considered deleterious. REVEL scores higher than 0.5 or 0.75 are considered likely pathogenic (higher sensitivity with the former cutoff, higher specificity with the latter cutoff). A PolyPhen-2 score of 0.85 or greater is considered likely pathogenic. BLAST-PSSM reflects the evolutionary conservation of residue substitutions, more negative numbers indicate fewer observations of the specific substitution than is expected. Penetrance Density is our previously published method to calculate the average BrS/LQTS probability density in a shell of residues surrounding a residue of interest (Kroncke et al. 2019).

Summary totals might not agree with the literature table because of duplicate patients, which were excluded from the total counts. We do not distinguish here between multiple missense codons. Missense variants are combined across degenerate codon substitutions since codon-level data were not consistently available for curation.

Functional Data

Peak and late/persistent current are relative to wildtype (100% being no different from wildtype). V0.5 act/inact are the voltages at which half of the maximal current is reached during an activation and inactivation protocol, each is in units of mV and relative to wildtype.

E1208K has 33 previously observed neighbors within 15 angstroms

A residue within a folded protein on average has nearest neighbors that fall roughly into two shells: a "nearest" neighbor around 5-6 angstroms and a second shell around 11 angstroms. All variants shown in the rightmost column have been observed in at least one individual in the literature or gnomAD.
