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 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 7-150951651-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-150951651-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 200737.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The Ser581Stop mutation in the KCNH2 gene has been reported previously in one individual diagnosed with LQTS and absent from 2,600 control alleles. This mutation is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either due to production of an abnormal, prematurely truncated protein, or by absence of protein product due to nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Multiple nonsense mutations in the KCNH2 gene have been reported previously in association with LQTS. The variant is found in LQT panel(s). -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser581*) in the KCNH2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in KCNH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10973849, 19862833). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of long QT syndrome (PMID: 19716085). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 200737). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
