Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5
The NM_000238.4(KCNH2):c.1711A>G(p.Ile571Val) variant causes a missense change. 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 Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. I571L) has been classified as Pathogenic.

The I571V variant in the KCNH2 gene has been reported in one individual with LQTS and was absent in800 control chromosomes (Napolitano et al., 2005). Functional studies have shown that the I571V variant results in deficient sodium channel trafficking (Anderson et al., 2014). Although I571V results in aconservative amino acid substitution, it occurs at a position that is conserved across species. Missensevariants affecting the same residue (I571L, I571M) and in nearby residues (W568R, W568C, Y569H,Y569C, G572R, G572C) have been reported in HGMD in association with LQTS (Stenson P et al., 2014),further supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. Furthermore, the I571V substitutionwas not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in theNHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations.In summary, I571V in the KCNH2 gene is interpreted as a pathogenic variant. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
The p.I571V variant (also known as c.1711A>G), located in coding exon 7 of the KCNH2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 1711. The isoleucine at codon 571 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been detected in individuals with features consistent with long QT syndrome, including a de novo occurrence (LQTS) (Napolitano C et al. JAMA, 2005 Dec;294:2975-80; Anderson CL et al. Nat Commun. 2014 Nov;5:5535; external communication; Ambry internal data). In vitro functional studies have suggested that this alteration causes abnormal protein trafficking (Anderson CL et al. Nat Commun, 2014 Nov;5:5535). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
Long QT syndrome Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 571 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Ile571Val). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with long QT syndrome (PMID: 16414944, 24103226; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67247). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNH2 function (PMID: 25417810). 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. -
Congenital long QT syndrome Other:1
This variant has been reported as associated with Long QT syndrome in the following publications (PMID:16414944). This is a literature report, and does not necessarily reflect the clinical interpretation of the Imperial College / Royal Brompton Cardiovascular Genetics laboratory. -
