Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP3_Moderate

The NM_000238.4(KCNH2):​c.2387T>G​(p.Val796Gly) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. V796L) has been classified as Likely benign.

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 Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 4 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 11 uncertain in NM_000238.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.913

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 518748). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with long QT syndrome (PMID: 25294783). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 796 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Val796Gly). -

The p.V796G variant (also known as c.2387T>G), located in coding exon 9 of the KCNH2 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 2387. The valine at codon 796 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in an individual with long QT syndrome (Vijayakumar R et al. Circulation, 2014 Nov;130:1936-1943). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
