Variant summary

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

The NM_000238.4(KCNH2):​c.1843C>T​(p.Leu615Phe) 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. L615V) 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 17 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 20 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 chr7-150951550-G-C is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 67293.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
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, 0.982
PP5
Variant 7-150951550-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-150951550-G-A is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 67294.

Not observed in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Published functional studies suggest a damaging effect as this variant may result in a protein trafficking defect (Anderson et al., 2014; Ng et al., 2019); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 16414944, 25417810, 31557540, 36339618, 22581653) -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 615 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Leu615Phe). 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. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNH2 function (PMID: 25417810, 31557540). 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 C0"). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67294). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with long QT syndrome (PMID: 16414944). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). -
