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]

KCNH2 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 7-150958296-GC-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-150958296-GC-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 200783.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Although the c.678delG pathogenic variant in the KCNH2 gene has not been reported to our knowledge, this variant causes a shift in reading frame starting at codon alanine 228, changing it to an arginine, and creating a premature stop codon at position 132 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Ala228ArgfsX132. This pathogenic variant is expected to result in either an abnormal, truncated protein product or loss of protein from this allele through nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Other frameshift variants in the KCNH2 gene have been reported in Human Gene Mutation Database in association with LQTS (Stenson et al., 2014), indicating that loss of function is a mechanism of disease for this gene. Furthermore, the c.678delG variant has not been observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). In summary, c.678delG in the KCNH2 gene is interpreted as a pathogenic variant. -

This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with KCNH2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 200783). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ala228Argfs*132) in the KCNH2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate insufficient coverage at this position in the ExAC database. Loss-of-function variants in KCNH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10973849, 19862833). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
