Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP2PP3_StrongPP5_Moderate

The NM_000238.4(KCNH2):​c.1418C>T​(p.Thr473Ile) 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. 15/23 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. T473N) 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 13 ACMG points.

PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 4 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 12 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 chr7-150952564-G-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 67197.
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, 0.95
PP5
Variant 7-150952564-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-150952564-G-A is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 811073.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

The KCNH2 c.1418C>T; p.Thr473Ile variant, to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature or gene specific databases. Other variants at this codon (p.Thr473Pro, p.Thr473Asn), as well as an adjacent p.Thr474Ile variant, have been reported in individuals with Long QT syndrome and are considered pathogenic (Itoh 2010, Kapplinger 2009, Liu 2013, Tanaka 1997). Electrophysiological characterization of the p.Thr473Pro and p.Thr474Ile variants reveal dominant negative effects on channel activity and altered gating properties, respectively (Liu 2013, Zhou 1998), suggesting that the S2-S3 cytoplasmic loop containing Thr473 is functionally important. The c.1418C>T; p.Thr473Ile variant is absent from general population databases (1000 Genomes Project, Exome Variant Server, and Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The threonine at codon 473 is highly conserved and computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is deleterious. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be likely pathogenic. References: Itoh H et al.
