Genes affected
HCN4 (HGNC:16882): (hyperpolarization activated cyclic nucleotide gated potassium channel 4) This gene encodes a member of the hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated potassium channels. The encoded protein shows slow kinetics of activation and inactivation, and is necessary for the cardiac pacemaking process. This channel may also mediate responses to sour stimuli. Mutations in this gene have been linked to sick sinus syndrome 2, also known as atrial fibrillation with bradyarrhythmia or familial sinus bradycardia. Two pseudogenes have been identified on chromosome 15. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxAug 26, 2022In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -
Brugada syndrome 8 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpOct 03, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 242 of the HCN4 protein (p.Arg242Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs745880598, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with HCN4-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 240173). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt HCN4 protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsAug 25, 2023The p.R242C variant (also known as c.724C>T), located in coding exon 1 of the HCN4 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 724. The arginine at codon 242 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in a primary arrhythmia and cardiomyopathy cohort (Robyns T et al. Eur J Hum Genet, 2017 12;25:1313-1323). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
