Background— The cardiac sodium channel SCN5A regulates atrioventricular and ventricular conduction. Genetic variants in this gene are associated with PR and QRS intervals. We sought to characterize further the contribution of rare and common coding variation in SCN5A to cardiac conduction. Methods and Results— In Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) Consortium Targeted Sequencing Study, we performed targeted exonic sequencing of SCN5A (n=3699, European ancestry individuals) and identified 4 common (minor allele frequency >1%) and 157 rare variants. Common and rare SCN5A coding variants were examined for association with PR and QRS intervals through meta-analysis of European ancestry participants from CHARGE, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s Exome Sequencing Project (n=607), and the UK10K (n=1275) and by examining Exome Sequencing Project African ancestry participants (n=972). Rare coding SCN5A variants in aggregate were associated with PR interval in European and African ancestry participants ( P =1.3×10 ⁻³ ). Three common variants were associated with PR and QRS interval duration among European ancestry participants and one among African ancestry participants. These included 2 well-known missense variants: rs1805124 (H558R) was associated with PR and QRS shortening in European ancestry participants ( P =6.25×10 ⁻⁴ and P =5.2×10 ⁻³ , respectively) and rs7626962 (S1102Y) was associated with PR shortening in those of African ancestry ( P =2.82×10 ⁻³ ). Among European ancestry participants, 2 novel synonymous variants, rs1805126 and rs6599230, were associated with cardiac conduction. Our top signal, rs1805126 was associated with PR and QRS lengthening ( P =3.35×10 ⁻⁷ and P =2.69×10 ⁻⁴ , respectively) and rs6599230 was associated with PR shortening ( P =2.67×10 ⁻⁵ ). Conclusions— By sequencing SCN5A , we identified novel common and rare coding variants associated with cardiac conduction.
