Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Moderate

The NM_000238.4(KCNH2):​c.3100_3106dupCCCCGGG​(p.Gly1036AlafsTer85) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. G1036G) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]

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. -
