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]

KCNH2 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.04712644 fraction of the gene. No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal is inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 7-150959738-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-150959738-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 379451.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The c.308-2 A>G variant has been reported previously in association with LQTS (Berge K et al., 2008). This substitution destroys the canonical splice acceptor site in intron 2 and is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing. Other splice site variants in theKCNH2 gene have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with LQTS (Stenson P et al., 2014). Furthermore, the c.308-2 A>G variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations.Based on currently available evidence, c.308-2 A>G is a strong candidate for a pathogenic variant. However, the possibility it is a rare benign variant cannot be excluded. -

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 2 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). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KCNH2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 379451). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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. -
