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 12 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 7-150952646-C-CA is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-150952646-C-CA is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 456886.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in KCNH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19862833). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with KCNH2-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 456886). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly446Trpfs*73) in the KCNH2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
