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 7-150950347-C-CA is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-150950347-C-CA is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 456904.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in KCNH2 are known to be pathogenic. This particular variant has been reported in the literature in one individual affected with long QT syndrome (PMID: 10973849). This variant is also known as H739fs/63 in the literature. This sequence change inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 9 of the KCNH2 mRNA (c.2218dupT), causing a frameshift at codon 740. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys740Leufs*64) and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
