Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5

The NM_000238.4(KCNH2):​c.157G>T​(p.Gly53Cys) variant causes a missense change. 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 Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G53S) 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 11 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 7 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 chr7-150974861-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 67215.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.983
• PP5: Variant 7-150974861-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-150974861-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 1499003.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_pathogenic=1, Uncertain_significance=1}.

The p.G53C variant (also known as c.157G>T), located in coding exon 2 of the KCNH2 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 157. The glycine at codon 53 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. Based on internal structural analysis, this alteration is located within the PAS domain of KCNH2 and is expected to disrupt trafficking and lead to deactivation of the potassium channel (Chen J et al. J. Biol. Chem., 1999 Apr;274:10113-8; Ambry internal data). This alteration is expected to be more disruptive than p.G53R, an alternate amino acid substitution at this position that has been reported in a patient with Long QT Syndrome Type 2 (LQT2), indicating this codon may be a hotspot location (Haraguchi Y et al. Circ. J., 2005 Jan;69:78-82). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -

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. This variant disrupts the p.Gly53 amino acid residue in KCNH2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10187793, 10973849, 21536673, 22396785). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1499003). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Long QT syndrome (Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 53 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Gly53Cys). -
