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 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 7-150947373-C-CCCCGGGG is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-150947373-C-CCCCGGGG is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 456921.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with KCNH2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 456921). This sequence change results in a premature translational stop signal in the KCNH2 gene (p.Gly1036Alafs*85). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 124 amino acids of the KCNH2 protein. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate insufficient coverage at this position in the ExAC database. This variant disrupts the C-terminus of the KCNH2 protein. Other variant(s) that disrupt this region (p.Glu1119*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 27920829, Invitae). This suggests that variants that disrupt this region of the protein are likely to be causative of disease. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
