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 topological_domain Extracellular (size 42) in uniprot entity KCNH2_HUMAN there are 29 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_000238.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.959
• PP5: Variant 7-150951603-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-150951603-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 67277.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

GeneDx

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The Y597C likely pathogenic variant in the KCNH2 gene has been reported previously in one individual referred for LQTS genetic testing, and was absent from 2,600 control alleles (Kapplinger et al., 2009). Additionally, Y597C was observed in other unrelated individuals referred for LQTS genetic testing at GeneDx and was classified in ClinVar as a variant of uncertain significance by another clinical laboratory (Landrum et al., 2014). The Y597C variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The Y597C variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. In addition, this substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. Furthermore, functional studies show that the Y597C variant results in deficient protein trafficking (Anderson et al., 2014). Therefore, this variant is likely pathogenic. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNH2 function (PMID: 12407082, 25417810). 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: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C15"). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67277). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of long QT syndrome (PMID: 19716085; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 597 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Tyr597Cys). -
