Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP2PP3_StrongPP5

The NM_000238.4(KCNH2):​c.1280A>G​(p.Tyr427Cys) 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. 13/23 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. Y427S) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 9 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 7 uncertain in NM_000238.4
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PM5
Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr7-150952702-T-G is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 67178.
PP2
Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 158 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 38 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 3.3724 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 2.4846 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to long QT syndrome 2, Brugada syndrome, short QT syndrome type 1, short QT syndrome, long QT syndrome.
PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.984
PP5
Variant 7-150952702-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-150952702-T-C is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 67179.

Agnes Ginges Centre for Molecular Cardiology, Centenary Institute
Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:research

The KCNH2 Tyr427Cys variant is located in the Transmembrane/ S1 domain. It has been reported in 2 long QT probands and was absent from 1300 controls (Itoh H, et al., 2016; Kapplinger, et al., 2009). The variant is absent in the 1000 genomes project (http://www.1000genomes.org/), as well as the Exome Aggregation Consortium dataset (http://exac.broadinstitute.org/). We have identified this variant in one long QT proband with no family history of disease or SCD. Interestingly, different rare variants at this position (Tyr427Ser and Tyr427His) have also been reported in long QT individuals, suggesting that an amino acid substitution at this site may not be tolerated. Computational tools SIFT, MutationTaster, and PolyPhen-2 predict this variant to have a deleterious effect. The variant was discussed at our multidisciplinary pathogenicity meeting and it was agreed based on the above evidence that it should be considered as "likely pathogenic". -

This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 427 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Tyr427Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with long QT syndrome or clinical features of this condition (PMID: 19716085, 27920829, 36861347). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67179). 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. 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. -
