Creating an atlas of variant effects to resolve variants of uncertain significance and guide cardiovascular medicine - Nature Reviews Cardiology
In this Review, Roden and co-workers describe how multiplexed assays of variant effects can be used for high-throughput functional assessment of nearly all coding variants in a target sequence to impr...

Cohort-scale automated patch clamp data improves variant classification and penetrance stratification for SCN5A-Brugada Syndrome
Background: Brugada Syndrome (BrS) is an inherited arrhythmia disorder that causes an elevated risk of sudden cardiac death. Approximately 20% of patients with BrS have rare variants in SCN5A, which e...

Our data helps stratify SCN5A variants in BrS patients into normal-function "bystander" variants with low BrS risk and loss-of-function variants with higher BrS risk. We hope the dataset will improve diagnosis and clinical management of BrS patients and their families. [6/7]

Disease risk was proportional to the severity of loss-of-function; variants with Z ≤ -6 had a penetrance of 24.5% and an odds ratio of 501 for BrS. [5/7]

Out of 252 variants, 146 were functionally abnormal (Z ≤ -2), with 100 showing severe loss-of-function (Z ≤ -4). Functional evidence allowed us to reclassify 110 of 225 VUS: 104 to likely pathogenic and 6 to likely benign. [4/7]

Using automated patch clamp, we analyzed 252 SCN5A variants from a previously published cohort of 3,335 BrS cases. We previously showed this assay performs well on benign/pathogenic controls. The controls were used to calculate normalized Z-scores for the 252 variants. [3/7]
