Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000238.4(KCNH2):​c.3097_3098dupCG​(p.Pro1034GlyfsTer24) 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. R1033R) 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]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Pro1034Glyfs*24) in the KCNH2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. 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 premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with long QT syndrome (PMID: 15840476). This variant is also known as 3098_3099insCG. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 456919). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
