Since the initial discovery of SCN5A as a disease-causing gene, there have been a total of 11 different genes reported to be causative for the disorder, which collectively have been suggested to account for up to 40% of cases.6Gollob M.H.

Genes identified through linkage analysis provide strong evidence for disease association, as the culprit gene mutation is demonstrated to segregate with affected family members and is absent from healthy relatives (assuming complete disease penetrance). Although BrS is considered an autosomal dominant condition, reports of large affected families allowing for segregation analysis are rare, and sporadic cases account for a large proportion of affected patients. Thus, gene discovery for BrS (and many other conditions) has depended on the screening of biologically plausible candidate genes, and “proven” disease-association by the absence of the specific genetic variation from control cohorts. Such an approach is not without risk of false associations, because rare variants are by definition ‘rare,' and their absence from a control cohort may not be meaningful. It has been well established that even “healthy controls” harbour rare genetic variants in genes considered “biologically plausible” or known to be disease-causing for numerous conditions, including hereditary arrhythmia syndromes.7Kapa S.

While often true, altered biological function alone cannot conclude disease-causation on all occasions, as even common polymorphisms may display altered function, yet by virtue of their frequency in the normal population are not disease-causing.9Anson B.D.

Saber S. Houshmand M. et al.Sodium current and potassium transient outward current genes in Brugada syndrome: screening and bioinformatics.Can J Cardiol. 2012; 28: 196-200Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (19) Google Scholar The investigators utilize newly available genetic databases involving thousands of individuals without known disease, and review these databases as a resource to assess for the presence of specific, rare variants in genes reported to be associated with BrS. In their study, Holst and colleagues focus on 4 genes (SCN1B, SCN3B, KCND3, and MOG1) reported to be implicated in BrS pathogenesis. They screen an additional 3 genes (SCN2B, SCN4B, and CAV3) as biological candidates for BrS in their small BrS Danish and Iranian cohorts. The crux of this study deals with the assignment of genes as causative for BrS based on novel variants found within those genes in BrS cases. Based on the investigators own screening, and with reference to the newly available National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Grand Opportunity (GO) exome sequencing database (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/), the authors question the reality of SCN3B, KCND3, and MOG1 as truly disease-causing BrS genes. Each of these genes were suggested to be BrS associated genes based on the observation of rare variants in relatively small series of BrS cases (0.4%-2% rare variant cases), the absence of the specific rare variants from local controls, and the demonstration of altered Nav1.5 channel behaviour in heterologous cells in the presence of the mutant.14Hu D. Barajas-Martinez H. Burashnikov E. et al.A mutation in the beta-3 subunit of the cardiac sodium channel associated with Brugada ECG phenotype.Circ Cardiovasc Genet. 2009; 2: 270-278Crossref PubMed Scopus (215) Google Scholar, 17Giudicessi J.R. Ye D. Tester D.J. et al.Transient outward current (I(to)) gain-of-function mutations in the KCND3-encoded Kv4.3 potassium channel and Brugada syndrome.Heart Rhythm. 2011; 8: 1024-1032Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (192) Google Scholar, 18Kattygnarath D. Maugenre S. Neyroud N. et al.MOG1: a new susceptibility gene for Brugada syndrome.Circ Cardiovasc Genet. 2011; 4: 261-268Crossref PubMed Scopus (138) Google Scholar In each case, evidence for familial segregation of the gene variant with phenotype was absent, either due to a lack of family history or family members unavailable for testing. Holst and colleagues provide data from the exome database indicating that the previously reported BrS-associated mutations within SCN3B (Leu10Pro) and KCND3 (Gly600Arg and Leu450Phe) are noted to have been observed in this presumably healthy population of over 2000 individuals (4000 alleles), albeit at a low frequency. In regards to the MOG1 gene, the association with BrS stemming from the observation of a rare variant (Glu39Asp) found in 1/246 BrS cases, the authors note that a more radical genetic variation within this gene, Glu61X, which results in complete functional loss of the protein, is found in 1/200 healthy individuals. As pointed out by the authors, this observation suggests that loss-of-function mutations of MOG1 may be well tolerated, and not disease-causing.The bioinformatics approach used by Holst and colleagues highlights the potential value of newly generated large databases of human genome variations. While this study does not robustly disprove the association of SCN3B, KCND3, and MOG1 as genes causative for BrS, it does reasonably suggest cautious and reserved judgement in accepting their disease-causing nature. The last decade has seen an enormous increase in reports of novel genes implicated for various diseases, and many of these associations have occurred in the absence of the previous “gold standard” of linkage analysis and familial segregation. A common approach in recent years, as done in BrS, involves the screening of cohorts for rare variants in candidate genes and functional studies demonstrating altered biophysical function. These studies have justified a conclusion of disease-causation based on the absence of the specific rare variant from controls. We propose an alternative approach to safeguard against false associations. Candidate gene screening should include complete sequencing of the gene for both cases and controls, and a comparison of the number and nature of rare variants found in both populations. Functional studies should be performed on rare variants found in both cases and controls. Lastly, ideally, controls should be subsequently available for clinical phenotyping. While these measures may not ultimately provide ‘absolute proof’ of causality, the approach limits the risk of false associations and provides a more fair conclusion as to the relevance of rare variants identified in diseased cohorts.DisclosuresThe authors have no conflicts of interest to disclose.
