Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PS3 PM2 PP3_Strong PP5

The NM_000238.4(KCNH2):​c.2145G>A​(p.Ala715Ala) variant causes a splice region, synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000274 in 1,461,698 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 2/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000543451: Studies have shown that this variant alters mRNA splicing and is expected to lead to the loss of protein expression (PMID:36197721)." and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. A715A) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

KCNH2 (HGNC:6251): (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily H member 2) This gene encodes a component of a voltage-activated potassium channel found in cardiac muscle, nerve cells, and microglia. Four copies of this protein interact with one copy of the KCNE2 protein to form a functional potassium channel. Mutations in this gene can cause long QT syndrome type 2 (LQT2). Transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points.

• PS3: PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000543451: Studies have shown that this variant alters mRNA splicing and is expected to lead to the loss of protein expression (PMID: 36197721).; SCV002588737: Minigene functional studies revealed aberrant splicing in the presence of this alternative allele. PMID: 32893267; SCV004358322: "A functional study with minigene assay has shown that this variant causes significantly increased exon 8 skipping while a reduction of canonical transcript compared to wild type control." PMID: 36197721
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing predictors support a deleterious effect. Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF. Scorers claiming Uncertain: max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 7-150950921-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-150950921-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 200415.
