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: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5.7, offset of 1, new splice context is: tgcccccaccctgccccaAGtgc. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 7-150950421-CTG-TT is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-150950421-CTG-TT is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 456902.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

In summary, donor and acceptor splice site variants are typically loss-of-function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in KCNH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19862833). However, without additional functional and/or genetic data, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a KCNH2-related disease. This variant is a complex sequence change that results in the deletion of 3 nucleotides and the insertion of 2 nucleotides. It affects an acceptor splice site in intron 8 of the KCNH2 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
