Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000238.4(KCNH2):c.215C>T(p.Pro72Leu) 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. P72Q) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Submissions by phenotype
not provided Pathogenic:1
Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); Published functional studies demonstrate deficient protein trafficking (Anderson et al., 2014); Different missense variants in the same residue (P72Q, P72T, P72R) have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with LQTS (Stenson et al., 2014); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 19716085, 25417810, 32475984) -
Long QT syndrome Pathogenic:1
This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 72 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Pro72Leu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with long QT syndrome (PMID: 19716085; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67370). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNH2 function (PMID: 25417810, 32475984). This variant disrupts the p.Pro72 amino acid residue in KCNH2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10973849, 25417810; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
The p.P72L variant (also known as c.215C>T), located in coding exon 2 of the KCNH2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 215. The proline at codon 72 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in several individuals with long QT syndrome (Kapplinger JD et al. Heart Rhythm. 2009;6:1297-303; Migdalovich D et al. Heart Rhythm. 2011;8:1537-43; Itoh H et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet. 2016;24:1160-6; GeneDx pers. comm.). Functional studies have demonstrated that this alteration causes a trafficking defect in mammalian cells (Anderson CL et al. Nat Commun. 2014;5:5535; Perry MD et al. J. Physiol. (Lond.). 2016;594:4031-49). Two likely pathogenic variants, p.P72Q and p.P72R, have been described in the same codon (Splawski I et al. Circulation. 2000;102:1178-85; Crotti L et al. Hum. Genet. 2008;123:537-55). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species; however, leucine is the reference amino acid in other vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
