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 16 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, 8 uncertain in NM_000238.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.98
• PP5: Variant 7-150952561-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-150952561-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 67198.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr7-150952561-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

The Thr474Ile mutation in the KCNH2 gene has been published previously in association with LQTS. Tanaka et al. (1997) reported the Thr474Ile mutation co-segregating with LQTS in a Japanese family, and did not detect the mutation in 80 normal individuals.Thr474Ile, which occurs in the S2-S3 region of KCNH2, represents a non-conservative amino acid replacement of a polar Threonine residue with a non-polar Isoleucine residue at a position in the protein that is highly conserved across species throughout evolution. Mutations affecting nearby codons (Asn470Asp, Thr473Asn, Tyr475Cys, Val476Ile) have been reported in association with LQTS, further supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. Furthermore, Thr474Ile was not detected in up to 600 control chromosomes of African American and Caucasian ethnic groups tested at GeneDx, indicating it is not a common benign polymorphism in these populations. The variant is found in LQT panel(s). -

The p.T474I variant (also known as c.1421C>T), located in coding exon 6 of the KCNH2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1421. The threonine at codon 474 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in several unrelated patients with long QT syndrome, though clinical information was limited for most of the individuals (Tanaka T et al. Circulation. 1997 Feb;95:565-7; Lieve KV et al. Genet Test Mol Biomarkers. 2013;17:553-61; Ishibashi K et al. Heart. 2017;103:1374-1379). This variant was reported to segregate with disease in one Japanese family; however, the segregation data were not provided (Tanaka T et al. Circulation. 1997 Feb;95:565-7). Functional studies suggest that this alteration causes a trafficking defect and results in reduced KCNH2 function (Nakajima T et al. Circ. Res. 1998;83:415-22; Anderson CL et al. Circulation. 2006;113:365-73; Jou CJ et al. Circ. Res. 2013;112:826-30). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
