Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Moderate PP5_Moderate

The NM_000238.4(KCNH2):​c.1262C>A​(p.Thr421Lys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. T421M) has been classified as Pathogenic.

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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a transmembrane_region Helical; Name=Segment S1 (size 20) in uniprot entity KCNH2_HUMAN there are 6 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_000238.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr7-150952720-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.928
• PP5: Variant 7-150952720-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-150952720-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 200331.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

p.Thr421Lys (ACG>AAG): c.1262 C>A in exon 6 of the KCNH2 (aka HERG) gene (NM_000238.2)While the Thr421Lys mutation in the KCNH2 gene has not been reported to our knowledge, a mutation affecting this same codon, Thr421Met, has been reported in association with LQTS (Tester D et al., 2005). Additionally, mutations in nearby residues (Leu413Pro, Tyr420Cys, Ala422Thr) have been reported in association with LQTS, further supporting the functional importance of this codon and this region of the protein. Thr421Lys results in a semi-conservative amino acid substitution of a neutral, polar Threonine with a positively charged Lysine at a position that is conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts Thr421Lys is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Furthermore, Thr421Lys was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations.In summary, Thr421Lys in the KCNH2 gene is interpreted as a likely disease-causing mutation. The variant is found in LQT panel(s). -
