Single nucleotide polymorphisms of the SCN5A gene in Han Chinese and their relation with Brugada syndrome.

BACKGROUND: Mutations in the cardiac sodium channel gene (SCN5A) may lead to a broad spectrum of familial arrhythmias, including long QT syndrome (LQTS), idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF), and isolated cardiac conduction diseases. Recent studies have shown that polymorphisms in the SCN5A gene also play an important role in the manifestation of disorders involving cardiac excitability. In this study, we investigated the polymorphisms of the SCN5A gene in Han Chinese and its relation to Brugada syndrome (BS). METHODS: Genomic DNA was isolated from 120 unrelated healthy volunteers and 48 unrelated Brugada syndrome patients by means of standard procedures. All exons including the putative splicing sites of the SCN5A gene were amplified by PCR and sequenced directly or after subcloning using an ABI Prism 377 DNA sequencer. RESULTS: A total of 5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified in the Han Chinese population, including 3 novel ones: G87A(A29A), 4245 + 82A > G, and G6174A. The allele frequencies of each SNP in the Han Chinese population were as follows: G87A (A29A) 27.5%, A1673G (H558R) 10.4%, 4245 + 82A > G 32.8%, C5457T (D1819D) 41.3%, and G6174A 44.9%. S1102Y and 10 other SNPs identified in other ethnic populations were not detected in this study. There was no significant difference in the allele frequency of A1673G (H558R) between different ethnic populations (all P > 0.5). On the other hand, the allele frequency of C5457T (D1819D) among Han Chinese was similar to its frequency among Japanese (P > 0.5), but higher than that among Americans (P < 0.005). The allele G1673 (R558) was over-represented in BS patients compared to controls (P < 0.005), but there was no significant difference in genotype frequencies at this locus. There were also no differences in either the allele or genotype frequencies of the 4 other identified SNPs when comparing BS patients with healthy controls. CONCLUSIONS: The distribution of SCN5A SNPs may vary between different ethnicities. The polymorphism of A1673G might be associated with BS and may contribute to a susceptibility to BS in Han Chinese.

Genetic analysis of the cardiac sodium channel gene SCN5A in Koreans with Brugada syndrome.

The SCN5A gene encodes the alpha subunit of the human cardiac voltage-gated sodium channel. Mutations in SCN5A are responsible for Brugada syndrome, an inherited cardiac disease that leads to idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) and sudden death. In this study, we screened nine individuals from a single family and 12 sporadic patients who were clinically diagnosed with Brugada syndrome. Using PCR-SSCP, DHPLC, and DNA sequencing analysis, we identified a novel single missense mutation associated with Brugada syndrome in the family and detected a C5607T polymorphism in Korean subjects. A single nucleotide substitution of G to A at nucleotide position 3934 changed the coding sense of exon 21 of the SCN5A from glycine to serine (G1262S) in segment 2 of domain III (DIII-S2). Four individuals in the family carried the identical mutation in the SCN5A gene, but none of the 12 sporadic patients did. This mutation was not found in 150 unrelated normal individuals. This finding is the first report of a novel mutation in SCN5A associated with Brugada syndrome in Koreans.

De novo mutation in the SCN5A gene associated with early onset of sudden infant death.

BACKGROUND: Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS), a cardiac ion channel disease, is an important cause of sudden cardiac death. Prolongation of the QT interval has recently been associated with sudden infant death syndrome, which is the leading cause of death among infants between 1 week and 1 year of age. Available data suggest that early onset of congenital LQTS may contribute to premature sudden cardiac death in otherwise healthy infants. METHODS AND RESULTS: In an infant who died suddenly at the age of 9 weeks, we performed mutation screening in all known LQTS genes. In the surface ECG soon after birth, a prolonged QTc interval (600 ms(1/2)) and polymorphic ventricular tachyarrhythmias were documented. Mutational analysis identified a missense mutation (Ala1330Pro) in the cardiac sodium channel gene SCN5A, which was absent in both parents. Subsequent genetic testing confirmed paternity, thus suggesting a de novo origin. Voltage-clamp recordings of recombinant A1330P mutant channel expressed in HEK-293 cells showed a positive shift in voltage dependence of inactivation, a slowing of the time course of inactivation, and a faster recovery from inactivation. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we report a de novo mutation in the sodium channel gene SCN5A, which is associated with sudden infant death. The altered functional characteristics of the mutant channel was different from previously reported LQTS3 mutants and caused a delay in final repolarization. Even in families without a history of LQTS, de novo mutations in cardiac ion channel genes may lead to sudden cardiac death in very young infants.

Sinus node dysfunction following targeted disruption of the murine cardiac sodium channel gene Scn5a.

We have examined sino-atrial node (SAN) function in hearts from adult mice with heterozygous targeted disruption of the Scn5a gene to clarify the role of Scn5a-encoded cardiac Na+ channels in normal SAN function and the mechanism(s) by which reduced Na+ channel function might cause sinus node dysfunction. Scn5a+/- mice showed depressed heart rates and occasional sino-atrial (SA) block. Their isolated peripheral SAN pacemaker cells showed a reduced Na+ channel expression and slowed intrinsic pacemaker rates. Wild-type (WT) and Scn5a+/- SAN preparations exhibited similar activation patterns but with significantly slower SA conduction and frequent sino-atrial conduction block in Scn5a+/- SAN preparations. Furthermore, isolated WT and Scn5a+/- SAN cells demonstrated differing correlations between cycle length, maximum upstroke velocity and action potential amplitude, and cell size. Small myocytes showed similar, but large myocytes reduced pacemaker rates, implicating the larger peripheral SAN cells in the reduced pacemaker rate that was observed in Scn5a+/- myocytes. These findings were successfully reproduced in a model that implicated i(Na) directly in action potential propagation through the SAN and from SAN to atria, and in modifying heart rate through a coupling of SAN and atrial cells. Functional alterations in the SAN following heterozygous-targeted disruption of Scn5a thus closely resemble those observed in clinical sinus node dysfunction. The findings accordingly provide a basis for understanding of the role of cardiac-type Na+ channels in normal SAN function and the pathophysiology of sinus node dysfunction and suggest new potential targets for its clinical management.

Assignment of the human heart tetrodotoxin-resistant voltage-gated Na+ channel alpha-subunit gene (SCN5A) to band 3p21.

The chromosomal location of SCN5A, the gene encoding the principal voltage-gated Na+ channel expressed in human heart, has been determined by three independent methodologies: somatic cell hybrid mapping, chromosomal microdissection-polymerase chain reaction, and fluorescence in situ hybridization. The SCN5A gene was assigned to the short arm of chromosome 3 (band 3p21) by all three approaches. These data are further evidence that striated muscle Na+ channel genes are dispersed in the genome.

High risk for bradyarrhythmic complications in patients with Brugada syndrome caused by SCN5A gene mutations.

OBJECTIVES: We carried out a complete screening of the SCN5A gene in 38 Japanese patients with Brugada syndrome to investigate the genotype-phenotype relationship. BACKGROUND: The gene SCN5A encodes the pore-forming alpha-subunit of voltage-gated cardiac sodium (Na) channel, which plays an important role in heart excitation/contraction. Mutations of SCN5A have been identified in 15% of patients with Brugada syndrome. METHODS: In 38 unrelated patients with clinically diagnosed Brugada syndrome, we screened for SCN5A gene mutations using denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography and direct sequencing, and conducted a functional assay for identified mutations using whole-cell patch-clamp in heterologous expression system. RESULTS: Four heterozygous mutations were identified (T187I, D356N, K1578fs/52, and R1623X) in 4 of the 38 patients. All of them had bradyarrhythmic complications: three with sick sinus syndrome (SSS) and the other (D356N) with paroxysmal complete atrioventricular block. SCN5A-linked Brugada patients were associated with a higher incidence of bradyarrhythmia (4 of 4) than non-SCN5A-linked Brugada patients (2 of 34). Families with T187I and K1578fs/52 had widespread penetrance of SSS. Notably, the patient with K1578fs/52, who had been diagnosed as having familial SSS without any clinical signs of Brugada syndrome, showed a Brugada-type ST-segment elevation after intravenous administration of pilsicainide and programmed electrical stimulation-induced ventricular tachycardia. All of the mutations encoded non-functional Na channels, and thus were suggested to cause impulse propagation defect underlying bradyarrhythmias. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that loss-of-function SCN5A mutations resulting in Brugada syndrome are distinguished by profound bradyarrhythmias.

[Novel SCN5A gene mutations associated with Brugada syndrome: V95I, A1649V and delF1617].

OBJECTIVE: Brugada syndrome is an inherited channelopathy that characterized by ST-segment elevation in the right precordial lead (V(1)-V(3)) on the electrocardiogram with or without right bundle branch block and related with high risk of sudden cardiac death and structurally normal hearts. The first and only gene linked to this disease is SCN5A, a gene encodes for alpha subunit of the cardiac sodium channel. The objective of this study is to explore SCN5A gene mutations in Chinese patients with Brugada syndrome. METHODS: Four patients diagnosed as Brugada syndrome and nine patients with suspected Brugada syndrome were chosen for the study. The exons in the functional regions of SCN5A gene were amplified with polymerase chain reaction and the amplified products were sequenced with Sanger method. If a mutation was identified, patient's family members were also screened. RESULTS: Two heterozygous mutations were found in one family diagnosed as Brugada syndrome. One missense mutation was a G-->A transition in the first nucleotide of codon 95 in SCN5A gene exon 3, which was predicted to result in substitution of Valine with Isoleucine (V95I). The other missense mutation was a C-->T transition in the second nucleotide of codon 1649 in SCN5A gene exon 28, which was predicted to result in substitution of Alanine with Valine (A1649V). A heterozygous mutation was identified in one family suspected to have the disease. The mutation was a three nucleotides (TCT) deletion that caused Phenylalanine deletion in codon 1617 in SCN5A gene exon 28. The three mutations were not detected in 100 control chromosomes. CONCLUSIONS: Mutation in SCN5A gene is one of the causes of Brugada syndrome in Chinese. Three novel SCN5A gene mutations were identified in Chinese with Brugada syndrome, which expands the spectrum of SCN5A mutations associated with the disease.

Loss of function associated with novel mutations of the SCN5A gene in patients with Brugada syndrome.

BACKGROUND: Ventricular fibrillation is one of the leading causes of death in North America. Brugada syndrome is characterized by ST segment elevation on the right precordial leads V1 through V3 and right bundle branch block, and may cause sudden death. Mutations in the SCN5A gene encoding the cardiac voltage-gated Na+ channel (hNav1.5) are associated with Brugada syndrome. OBJECTIVES: In this study, three novel mutations on the SCN5A gene were identified and characterized in different patients with Brugada syndrome. METHODS: Blood samples were collected from patients with Brugada syndrome for gene screening. Mutations found on the SCN5A gene in these patients were reproduced in vitro on hNav1.5 background. Wild type and mutant channels expressed in tsA201 cells were characterized using the patch clamp technique in whole cell configuration and/or confocal microscopy. RESULTS: No current could be recorded from cells expressing the hNav1.5/G1740R mutant, incubated at 37 degrees C. However, at a lower incubation temperature (22 degrees C), macroscopic Na+ currents were recorded. Confocal microscopy study confirmed that at 37 degrees C, hNav1.5/G1740R mutant channels were retained in the endoplasmic reticulum. The E473X and N1774+12X mutants produced truncated proteins and did not express any currents; however, coexpression of each of these mutants with wild type channels shows 50% reduction of Na+ currents. CONCLUSION: This study confirms that the loss of function of cardiac Na+ channels is the basis of the Brugada syndrome clinical phenotype.

A de novo missense mutation (R1623Q) of the SCN5A gene in a Japanese girl with sporadic long QT sydrome. Mutations in brief no. 140. Online.

Two missense mutations and a nine-nucleotide deletion of the cardiac sodium channel (SCN5A) gene have been shown to cause long QT syndrome (LQTS) in several familial cases. We identified a novel missense mutation (R1623Q) of the SCN5A gene in a Japanese girl with sporadic LQTS. We used polymerase chain reaction, single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis and DNA sequence analysis to identify a mutation of the SCN5A gene in the patient. A single nucleotide substitution of guanine to adenine, in codon 1612, changed the coding sense of the SCN5A from arginine to glutamine (R1623Q) in the S4 segment of domain IV which is a highly conserved region of the SCN5A. This mutation was not identified in the unaffected biological parents and brother of the patient, and 100 normal, unrelated individuals. This finding is the first evidence of a de nova mutation in SCN5A associated with LQTS.

The implications of genetic mutations in the sodium channel gene (SCN5A).

Mutations in sodium channel alpha-subunit gene (SCN5A) result in multiple arrhythmic syndromes, including long QT3 (LQT3), Brugada syndrome (BS), an inherited cardiac conduction defect, sudden unexpected nocturnal death syndrome (SUNDS) and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), constituting a spectrum of disease entities termed Na+ channelopathies. These diseases are allelic disorders, if not the same disease with variable penetrance and variable modifiers worldwide. Interestingly, death occurs during sleep in all of these disorders, suggesting a common mechanism. To date, mutational analyses have revealed about 103 distinct mutations in SCN5A, of which at least more than 30 mutations are associated with LQT3, whereas the rest of the mutations are affiliated with the remaining sodium channel disorders. The majority of these mutations are missense. However, other types such as deletions, insertions, frameshifts, nonsense and splice-donor errors have also been reported.

Slowed conduction and ventricular tachycardia after targeted disruption of the cardiac sodium channel gene Scn5a.

Voltage-gated sodium channels drive the initial depolarization phase of the cardiac action potential and therefore critically determine conduction of excitation through the heart. In patients, deletions or loss-of-function mutations of the cardiac sodium channel gene, SCN5A, have been associated with a wide range of arrhythmias including bradycardia (heart rate slowing), atrioventricular conduction delay, and ventricular fibrillation. The pathophysiological basis of these clinical conditions is unresolved. Here we show that disruption of the mouse cardiac sodium channel gene, Scn5a, causes intrauterine lethality in homozygotes with severe defects in ventricular morphogenesis whereas heterozygotes show normal survival. Whole-cell patch clamp analyses of isolated ventricular myocytes from adult Scn5a(+/-) mice demonstrate a approximately 50% reduction in sodium conductance. Scn5a(+/-) hearts have several defects including impaired atrioventricular conduction, delayed intramyocardial conduction, increased ventricular refractoriness, and ventricular tachycardia with characteristics of reentrant excitation. These findings reconcile reduced activity of the cardiac sodium channel leading to slowed conduction with several apparently diverse clinical phenotypes, providing a model for the detailed analysis of the pathophysiology of arrhythmias.

Congenital long QT syndrome and 2:1 atrioventricular block with a mutation of the SCN5A gene.

Infants with congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) and 2:1 atrioventricular block (AVB) have been recognized as a clinical subset of children with LQTS. However, the genotype of this disorder is not well-known. We report an infant with LQTS and 2:1 AVB with a mutation of the SCN5A gene (LQT3). In some patients with LQTS and 2:1 AVB, the disorder may be due to mutation of the SCN5A gene (LQT3).

Genomic organization of the human SCN5A gene encoding the cardiac sodium channel.

The voltage-gated cardiac sodium channel, SCN5A, is responsible for the initial upstroke of the action potential. Mutations in the human SCN5A gene cause susceptibility to cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death in the long QT syndrome (LQT). In this report we characterize the genomic structure of SCN5A. SCN5A consists of 28 exons spanning approximately 80 kb on chromosome 3p21. We describe the sequences of all intron/exon boundaries and a dinucleotide repeat polymorphism in intron 16. Oligonucleotide primers based on exon-flanking sequences amplify all SCN5A exons by PCR. This work establishes the complete genomic organization of SCN5A and will enable high-resolution analyses of this locus for mutations associated with LQT and other phenotypes for which SCN5A may be a candidate gene.

Human SCN5A gene mutations alter cardiac sodium channel kinetics and are associated with the Brugada syndrome.

BACKGROUND: Primary dysrhythmias other than those associated with the long QT syndrome, are increasingly recognized. One of these are represented by patients with a history of resuscitation from cardiac arrest but without any structural heart disease. These patients exhibit a distinct electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern consisting of a persistent ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads often but not always accompanied by a right bundle branch block (Brugada syndrome). This syndrome is associated with a high mortality rate and has been shown to display familial occurrence. METHODS AND RESULTS: Pharmacological sodium channel blockade elicits or worsens the electrocardiographic features associated with this syndrome. Hence, a candidate gene approach directed towards SCN5A, the gene encoding the alpha-subunit of the cardiac sodium channel, was followed in six affected individuals. In two patients missense mutations were identified in the coding region of the gene: R1512W in the DIII-DIV cytoplasmic linker and A1924T in the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain. In two other patients mutations were detected near intron/exon junctions. To assess the functional consequences of the R1512W and A1924T mutations, wild-type and mutant sodium channel proteins were expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Both missense mutations affected channel function, most notably a 4-5 mV negative voltage shift of the steady-state activation and inactivation curves in R1512W and a 9 mV negative voltage shift of the steady-state activation curve in A1924T, measured at 22 degrees C. Recovery from inactivation was slightly prolonged for R1512W channels. The time dependent kinetics of activation and inactivation at -20 mV were not significantly affected by either mutation. CONCLUSIONS: Two SCN5A mutations associated with the Brugada syndrome, significantly affect cardiac sodium channel characteristics. The alterations seem to be associated with an increase in inward sodium current during the action potential upstroke.

A novel missense mutation in the SCN5A gene associated with Brugada syndrome bidirectionally affecting blocking actions of antiarrhythmic drugs.

Brugada syndrome is an inherited cardiac disorder caused by mutations in the SCN5A gene encoding the cardiac sodium channel alpha subunit, which can lead ventricular fibrillation and sudden death. Inattentive use of antiarrhythmic drugs potentially triggers fatal cardiac arrhythmias through further reduction of sodium current (I(Na)). We studied the molecular mechanism underlying a case of Brugada syndrome that showed no response to a class Ic antiarrhythmic drug. Molecular genetic studies of a patient with Brugada syndrome identified a novel mutation in SCN5A, which causes substitution of serine for asparagine (N406S) in S6 of domain I (IS6). The provocation test with pilsicainide, a class Ic antiarrhythmic drug, failed to exacerbate ST-segment elevation in this case. Electrophysiological analyses of the N406S-mutant channel expressed together with the beta1 subunit in HEK293 cells showed that the voltage dependence of activation was positively shifted by 16 mV and that intermediate inactivation was enhanced. Whereas tonic block by pilsicainide was not changed in the N406S channel, use-dependent block by pilsicainide was almost completely abolished, consistent with the clinical findings of the negative provocation test. In contrast, the N406S channel showed stronger use-dependent block by quinidine than the wild-type channel. We demonstrate a novel Brugada mutation N406S, which is associated with the discordant effects on blocking actions of antiarrhythmic drugs as well as the multiple channel gating defects. We emphasis that an antiarrhythmic drug may exert unpredicted effects in patients with channel mutations.

A novel mutation in the SCN5A gene is associated with Brugada syndrome.

Brugada syndrome (BS) is an inherited cardiac disorder associated with a high risk of sudden cardiac death and is caused by mutations in the SCN5A gene encoding the cardiac sodium channel alpha-subunit (Na(v)1.5). The aim of this study was to identify the genetic cause of familial BS and characterize the electrophysiological properties of a novel SCN5A mutation (W1191X). Four families and one patient with BS were screened for SCN5A mutations by PCR and direct sequencing. Wild-type (WT) and mutant Na(v)1.5 channels were expressed in tsA201 cells, and the sodium currents (I(Na)) were analyzed using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. A novel mutation, W1191X, was identified in a family with BS. Expression of the WT or the mutant channel (Na(v)1.5/W1191X) co-transfected with the beta(1)-subunit in tsA201 cells resulted in a loss of function of Na(v)1.5 channels. While voltage-clamp recordings of the WT channel showed a distinct acceleration of Na(v)1.5 activation and fast inactivation kinetics, the Na(v)1.5/W1191X mutant failed to generate any currents. Co-expression of the WT channel and the mutant channel resulted in a 50% reduction in I(Na). No effect on activation and inactivation were observed with this heterozygous expression. The W1191X mutation is associated with BS and resulted in the loss of function of the cardiac sodium channel.

SNP S1103Y in the cardiac sodium channel gene SCN5A is associated with cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death in a white family.

Cardiac arrhythmias cause 400 000 sudden deaths annually in the United States alone. Mutations in the cardiac sodium channel gene SCN5A on chromosome 3p21 cause cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death. In this study, we define an SCN5A mutation, S1103Y, in a white family associated with syncope, ventricular fibrillation, and sudden death. A very recent study reported the same mutation in 13.2% of African Americans, but not in the white population. Our study shows that mutation S1103Y does exist in the white population, and it is associated with a considerable risk of syncope, ventricular arrhythmia, ventricular fibrillation, and sudden death in this population.

Effects of L-type Ca2+ channel antagonism on ventricular arrhythmogenesis in murine hearts containing a modification in the Scn5a gene modelling human long QT syndrome 3.

Ventricular arrhythmogenesis in long QT 3 syndrome (LQT3) involves both triggered activity and re-entrant excitation arising from delayed ventricular repolarization. Effects of specific L-type Ca2+ channel antagonism were explored in a gain-of-function murine LQT3 model produced by a DeltaKPQ 1505-1507 deletion in the SCN5A gene. Monophasic action potentials (MAPs) were recorded from epicardial and endocardial surfaces of intact, Langendorff-perfused Scn5a+/Delta hearts. In untreated Scn5a+/Delta hearts, epicardial action potential duration at 90% repolarization (APD90) was 60.0 +/- 0.9 ms compared with 46.9 +/- 1.6 ms in untreated wild-type (WT) hearts (P < 0.05; n = 5). The corresponding endocardial APD(90) values were 52.0 +/- 0.7 ms and 53.7 +/- 1.6 ms in Scn5a+/Delta and WT hearts, respectively (P > 0.05; n = 5). Epicardial early afterdepolarizations (EADs), often accompanied by spontaneous ventricular tachycardia (VT), occurred in 100% of MAPs from Scn5a+/Delta but not in any WT hearts (n = 10). However, EAD occurrence was reduced to 62 +/- 7.1%, 44 +/- 9.7%, 10 +/- 10% and 0% of MAPs following perfusion with 10 nm, 100 nm, 300 nm and 1 mum nifedipine, respectively (P < 0.05; n = 5), giving an effective IC50 concentration of 79.3 nm. Programmed electrical stimulation (PES) induced VT in all five Scn5a+/Delta hearts (n = 5) but not in any WT hearts (n = 5). However, repeat PES induced VT in 3, 2, 2 and 0 out of 5 Scn5a+/Delta hearts following perfusion with 10 nm, 100 nm, 300 nm and 1 mum nifedipine, respectively. Patch clamp studies in isolated ventricular myocytes from Scn5a+/Delta and WT hearts confirmed that nifedipine (300 nm) completely suppressed the inward Ca2+ current but had no effect on inward Na+ currents. No significant effects were seen on epicardial APD90, endocardial APD90 or ventricular effective refractory period in Scn5a+/Delta and WT hearts following perfusion with nifedipine at 1 nm, 10 nm, 100 nm, 300 nm and 1 microm nifedipine concentrations. We conclude that L-type Ca2+ channel antagonism thus exerts specific anti-arrhythmic effects in Scn5a+/Delta hearts through suppression of EADs.
