    1. The proband (Figure 1, III:1) of African descent, harboring the SCN5A-N470K mutation, presented with symptomatic paroxysmal AF at 17 years of age

      Case#: 17-year-old African American male

      DiseaseAssertion: Symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF)

      FamilyInfo: Proband's mother experienced symptomatic early-onset paroxysmal AF at 47 years of age. Proband's maternal grandmother presented with minimally symptomatic AF at 52 years of age.

      ParentalTesting: Proband, mother, and maternal grandmother tested positive for SCN5A variant.

      CasePresentingHPOs: HP:0005110, HP:0004757

      CaseHPOFreeText: Symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. The initial presenting ECG revealed AF with controlled ventricular rates in the absence of atrioventricular (AV) nodal blockers.

      CaseNotHPOs: HP:0001678

      CaseNotHPOFreeText: absence of atrioventricular (AV) nodal blockers, LA and LV size normal.

      CasePreviousTesting: NR

      FunctionalAnalysis: The biophysical properties of the SCN5A-N470K mutant channel were investigated using voltage-clamp recordings following the transient transfection of HEK cells with either wild-type (WT) or N470K channels. The impact of the N470K mutation on the gating properties of the Nav1.5 sodium channel was also investigated. Findings indicate that a gain-of-function mutation.

      Variant: 1410C>G (p.Asp470Lys)

      ClinVar: 30047

      CAID: CA014836

      AdditionalInfo: Clinical characteristics of proband and family members found in Table 1.

    2. A novel gain-of-function mutation SCN5A-N470K associated with African American familial atrial fibrillation

      PMID: 41567847

      Gene: SCN5A

    1. 7-year-old boy

      Case#: 7-year-old boy

      DiseaseAssertion: Atrial flutter (AFL), sick sinus syndrome (SSS), Brugada syndrome (BrS)

      FamilyInfo: Family history of sudden death in maternal grandfather at age 30 years. Family testing identified the same SCN5A variant in the proband's mother and sister. The mother was asymptomatic but had a coved type ST elevation in V1 lead recorded at the 3rd intercostal position (Fig. 1e) and remained free of cardiac events until age 37 years. His sister's ECG was normal, and she remained free of cardiac events for 10 months

      ParentalTesting: Mother was found to have the same LOF variant

      CasePresentingHPOs: HP:0004749, HP:0011712, HP:0011704, HP:0011654

      CaseHPOFreeText: AFL detected on ECG with right bundle branch block but no history of arrhythmia, congenital heart disease, or cardiomyopathy. Post-RFCA, patient had sinus arrest lasting up to 7s, leading to diagnosis of sick sinus syndrome (SSS). Post-ablation ECG following a second RFCA revealed Brugada-type patterns, raising suspicion of Brugada syndrome (BrS) which eventually lead to a diagnosis.

      CaseNotHPOs: HP:0001638, HP:0001279, HP:0011675

      CaseNotHPOFreeText: Cardiomyopathy, syncope, arrhythmia

      CasePreviousTesting: NR

      Genotyping Method: NR

      FunctionalAnalysis: NR
