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: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 7-150948855-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-150948855-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 14438.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr7-150948855-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Canonical splice site variant predicted to result in a null allele in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Functional in vitro studies of hERG transfected HEK293 cells demonstrated that this variant abolishes the normal splicing and disrupts channel trafficking (PMID: 21057041); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21057041, 10086971) -

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site is associated with altered splicing resulting in multiple RNA products (PMID: 21057041). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 14438). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with long QT syndrome (PMID: 10086971; Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 10 of the KCNH2 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in KCNH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10973849, 19862833). -
