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 Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 8 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 15 uncertain in ENST00000262186.10

In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect, consistent with near complete loss-of-function (PMID: 25417810, 29330128); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 15840476, 18508782, 29330128, 37324772, 25417810, 22396785, 35688148, 37187232, 32475984, 36861347) -

The p.S55L variant (also known as c.164C>T), located in coding exon 2 of the KCNH2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 164. The serine at codon 55 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties, and is located in the PAS domain. This variant co-occurred with a KCNQ1 variant in a proband with long QT syndrome (LQTS). Two of the proband's children who carried p.S55L alone were also affected with LQTS (Kroncke BM et al. Heart Rhythm, 2018 06;15:890-894). This variant was also identified in individuals from another family with LQTS and in a LQTS genetic testing cohort (Behr ER et al. Eur Heart J, 2008 Jul;29:1670-80l Tester DJ et al. Heart Rhythm, 2005 May;2:507-17). This variant has been reported to result in deficient protein trafficking and abnormal ion channel function in in vitro assays (Anderson CL et al. Nat Commun, 2014 Nov;5:5535; Kroncke BM et al. Heart Rhythm, 2018 06;15:890-894). Based on internal structural analysis, this variant is predicted to be disruptive to the PAS domain (Haitin Y et al. Nature. 2013 Sep;501(7467):444-8; Wang W et al. Cell. 2017 04;169(3):422-430.e10). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with KCNH2-related conditions (PMID: 18508782, 29330128). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 55 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Ser55Leu). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67224). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNH2 function (PMID: 25417810, 29330128). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). -
