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 14 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.976
• PP5: Variant 7-150950404-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-150950404-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 67371.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr7-150950404-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Significance: not provided

Review Status: no classification provided

Collection Method: literature only

This variant has been reported as associated with Long QT syndrome in the following publications (PMID:15840476;PMID:19841300). This is a literature report, and does not necessarily reflect the clinical interpretation of the Imperial College / Royal Brompton Cardiovascular Genetics laboratory. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: The variant, KCNH2 c.2162C>T (p.Pro721Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 36208 control chromosomes (gnomAD) and has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Long-QT syndrome (Giudicessi_2012, Itoh_2016, Kapa_2009). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function and state that the missense change leads to a trafficking deficient protein which cannot be corrected in their in vitro studies (Anderson _2014). One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

In summary, this variant is absent from population databases, has been observed in at least one patient with long QT syndrome, and has been shown to have a deleterious functional effect. In the absence of confirmed segregation evidence, at this time this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change leads to a trafficking-deficient KCNH2 protein that is unable to be corrected in vitro (PMID: 25417810). This variant is not present in population databases (rs199472986, ExAC no frequency). This variant has been reported in at least one individual affected with long QT syndrome (PMID: 15840476, 19841300, 22949429, 26669661). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67371). This sequence change replaces proline with leucine at codon 721 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Pro721Leu). The proline residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between proline and leucine. -
