Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000238.4(KCNH2):c.172G>A(p.Glu58Lys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. 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 Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. E58A) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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 made for transcript

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 7 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 16 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 chr7-150974845-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 67257.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.986
PP5
Variant 7-150974846-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-150974846-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 67254.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr7-150974846-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJan 27, 2023Published functional studies suggest a damaging effect via a trafficking defect (Anderson et al., 2014); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 32475984, 19695459, 11222472, 25417810, 22396785) -
Long QT syndrome Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJul 15, 2022Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNH2 function (PMID: 25417810). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67254). This missense change has been observed in individuals with long QT syndrome (PMID: 11222472, 19695459; Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 58 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Glu58Lys). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
