Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000238.4(KCNH2):​c.1715G>T​(p.Gly572Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a 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 Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G572C) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 6 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 15 uncertain in NM_000238.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr7-150951679-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 67248.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.993
• PP5: Variant 7-150951678-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-150951678-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 67251.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The Gly572Val variant in the KCNH2 gene has been reported previously in one individual with LQTS and it was absent from more than 2,600 reference alleles. Also, the NHLBI ESP Exome Variant Server reports Gly572Val was not observed in approximately 5,000 samples from individuals of European and African American backgrounds, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Variants in this codon (Gly572Arg, Gly572Asp, Gly572Cys, Gly572Ser) and in nearby codons (Ile571Leu, Ile571Val, Met574Val) have been reported in association with LQTS, further supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 572 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Gly572Val). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). 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. This variant disrupts the p.Gly572 amino acid residue in KCNH2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15176425, 19490267, 22949429, 27803431). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNH2 function (PMID: 25417810). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67251). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of long QT syndrome (PMID: 19716085, 22949429; Invitae). -
