NM_000238.4:c.2931C>A

Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Moderate

The NM_000238.4(KCNH2):​c.2931C>A​(p.Cys977*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-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 (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. C977C) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). 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. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys977*) in the KCNH2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product.
