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 Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most 50 bp of the penultimate exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.0578 CDS is truncated, and there are 2 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

This sequence change deletes 25 nucleotides from exon 14 of the KCNH2 mRNA (c.3279_3303del25), causing a frameshift at codon 1094. This creates a premature translational stop signal in the last exon of the KCNH2 mRNA (p.Leu1094Profs*153). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 66 amino acids of the KCNH2 protein and to extend the length of the protein by an additional 86 amino acids. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a KCNH2-related disease. Experimental studies have not been reported for this variant and it is currently unknown if the last 66 amino acids of the KCNH2 protein are critical for its function, and the impact of the addition of the 86 amino acids is also unknown. In summary, this variant is a novel deletion with uncertain impact on protein function. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
