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: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.12327586 fraction of the gene. No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal is inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 7-150952424-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-150952424-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 264098.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

The c.1557+1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to A one nucleotide after coding exon 6 of the KCNH2 gene. In one study of long QT syndrome clinical genetic testing, an alteration at the same position, c.1557+1G>C, was reported in two patients (Kapplinger JD et al. Heart Rhythm. 2009;6(9):1297-303). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, since alterations that disrupt the canonical splice donor site are typically deleterious in nature, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation (ACMG Recommendations for Standards for Interpretation and Reporting of Sequence Variations. Revision 2007. Genet Med. 2008;10:294). -
