Requirement of β subunit for the reduced voltage-gated Na + current of a Brugada syndrome patient having novel double missense mutation (p.A385T/R504T) of SCN5A. THE KOREAN JOURNAL OF PHYSIOLOGY & PHARMACOLOGY : OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSIOLOGICAL SOCIETY AND THE KOREAN SOCIETY OF PHARMACOLOGY 2024; 28:313-322. [PMID: 38926839 PMCID: PMC11211759 DOI: 10.4196/kjpp.2024.28.4.313] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
Mutations within the SCN5A gene, which encodes the α-subunit 5 (NaV1.5) of the voltage-gated Na+ channel, have been linked to three distinct cardiac arrhythmia disorders: long QT syndrome type 3, Brugada syndrome (BrS), and cardiac conduction disorder. In this study, we have identified novel missense mutations (p.A385T/R504T) within SCN5A in a patient exhibiting overlap arrhythmia phenotypes. This study aims to elucidate the functional consequences of SCN5A mutants (p.A385T/R504T) to understand the clinical phenotypes. Whole-cell patch-clamp technique was used to analyze the NaV1.5 current (INa) in HEK293 cells transfected with the wild-type and mutant SCN5A with or without SCN1B co-expression. The amplitude of INa was not altered in mutant SCN5A (p.A385T/R504T) alone. Furthermore, a rightward shift of the voltage-dependent inactivation and faster recovery from inactivation was observed, suggesting a gain-of-function state. Intriguingly, the coexpression of SCN1B with p.A385T/R504T revealed significant reduction of INa and slower recovery from inactivation, consistent with the loss-of-function in Na+ channels. The SCN1B dependent reduction of INa was also observed in a single mutation p.R504T, but p.A385T co-expressed with SCN1B showed no reduction. In contrast, the slower recovery from inactivation with SCN1B was observed in A385T while not in R504T. The expression of SCN1B is indispensable for the electrophysiological phenotype of BrS with the novel double mutations; p.A385T and p.R504T contributed to the slower recovery from inactivation and reduced current density of NaV1.5, respectively.

Abstract
The primary purpose of 'omics' technologies is to understand the intricacy of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and other molecular mechanisms to reveal the complex traits of human diseases. The significant use of omics technologies and their applications in medicine gear up the study of the pathogenesis of several disorders. The detection of biomarkers in the early onset of diseases is challenging; still, omics can discover novel molecular mechanisms and biomarkers. In this review, the different types of omics and their technologies are explicated and aimed to provide their emerging applications in cardiovascular precision medicine. These technologies significantly impact optimizing medical treatment for individuals to reach a higher level in precision medicine.

Clin Chim Acta 2020; 505:49-54. [PMID: 32092317 DOI: 10.1016/j.cca.2020.02.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2019] [Revised: 02/03/2020] [Accepted: 02/20/2020] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) have been conventionally analyzed by Sanger sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). Nowadays, next-generation sequencing (NGS) is increasingly being used in clinical genetics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of NGS BRCA1/2 assays by comparing them with the conventional method. MATERIALS AND METHODS We did BRCA1/2 NGS assays of 108 breast and/or ovarian cancer patients whose BRCA1/2 mutation had been previously analyzed by Sanger sequencing and MLPA using TruSeq Custom Amplicon Design AFP2. Single-nucleotide variations (SNVs) and small insertions or deletions (InDels) were evaluated. In addition, we analyzed large genomic rearrangements (LGRs) using a coverage-based algorithm as well as a revised BRCA1/2 NGS assay (BRCAaccuTest PLUS), which additionally covered a BRCA1 promoter region. RESULTS The NGS BRCA1/2 assay detected all 20 SNVs and 21 small InDels in 56 patients. Among seven LGRs detected by MLPA, six exonic LGRs were well identified by both NGS BRCA1/2 assays. One pathogenic LGR, located on a BRCA1 promoter region, was successfully identified using revised BRCAaccuTestPLUS. CONCLUSIONS These results indicated that an NGS BRCA1/2 assay could detect most LGRs including BRCA1 promoter-region deletion as well as SNVs and small InDels. Therefore, it was applicable to clinical BRCA1/2 mutation tests.

Mutational and phenotypic spectra of KCNE1 deficiency in Jervell and Lange-Nielsen Syndrome and Romano-Ward Syndrome. Hum Mutat 2019; 40:162-176.

Abstract
KCNE1 encodes a regulatory subunit of the KCNQ1 potassium channel-complex. Both KCNE1 and KCNQ1 are necessary for normal hearing and cardiac ventricular repolarization. Recessive variants in these genes are associated with Jervell and Lange-Nielson syndrome (JLNS1 and JLNS2), a cardio-auditory syndrome characterized by congenital profound sensorineural deafness and a prolonged QT interval that can cause ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Some normal-hearing carriers of heterozygous missense variants of KCNE1 and KCNQ1 have prolonged QT intervals, a dominantly inherited phenotype designated Romano-Ward syndrome (RWS), which is also associated with arrhythmias and elevated risk of sudden death. Coassembly of certain mutant KCNE1 monomers with wild-type KCNQ1 subunits results in RWS by a dominant negative mechanism. This paper reviews variants of KCNE1 and their associated phenotypes, including biallelic truncating null variants of KCNE1 that have not been previously reported. We describe three homozygous nonsense mutations of KCNE1 segregating in families ascertained ostensibly for nonsyndromic deafness: c.50G>A (p.Trp17*), c.51G>A (p.Trp17*), and c.138C>A (p.Tyr46*). Some individuals carrying missense variants of KCNE1 have RWS. However, heterozygotes for loss-of-function variants of KCNE1 may have normal QT intervals while biallelic null alleles are associated with JLNS2, indicating a complex genotype-phenotype spectrum for KCNE1 variants.

Abstract
The Human Genome Project (HGP), as the primary sequencing of the human genome, lasted more than one decade to be completed using the traditional Sanger's method. At present, next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology could provide the genome sequence data in hours. NGS has also decreased the expense of sequencing; therefore, nowadays it is possible to carry out both whole-genome (WGS) and whole-exome sequencing (WES) for the variations detection in patients with rare genetic diseases as well as complex disorders such as common cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Finding new variants may contribute to establishing a risk profile for the pathology process of diseases. Here, recent applications of NGS in cardiovascular medicine are discussed; both Mendelian disorders of the cardiovascular system and complex genetic CVDs including inherited cardiomyopathy, channelopathies, stroke, coronary artery disease (CAD) and are considered. We also state some future use of NGS in clinical practice for increasing our information about the CVDs genetics and the limitations of this new technology. Key messages Traditional Sanger's method was the mainstay for Human Genome Project (HGP); Sanger sequencing has high fidelity but is slow and costly as compared to next generation methods. Within cardiovascular medicine, NGS has been shown to be successful in identifying novel causative mutations and in the diagnosis of Mendelian diseases which are caused by a single variant in a single gene. NGS has provided the opportunity to perform parallel analysis of a great number of genes in an unbiased approach (i.e. without knowing the underlying biological mechanism) which probably contribute to advance our knowledge regarding the pathology of complex diseases such as CVD.
