Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong

The ENST00000262186.10(KCNH2):​c.1601G>T​(p.Arg534Leu) 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. 12/21 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R534S) 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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 4 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 11 uncertain in ENST00000262186.10
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr7-150951793-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 67220.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.989

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. This variant disrupts the p.Arg534 amino acid residue in KCNH2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 22949429, 18441445, 9600240, 11668638, 21308345). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. This variant has been reported to affect KCNH2 protein function (PMID: 23546015). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of long QT syndrome (PMID: 16414944, 19716085; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67221). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces arginine with leucine at codon 534 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Arg534Leu). The arginine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between arginine and leucine. -

The c.1601G>T (p.R534L) alteration is located in exon 7 (coding exon 7) of the KCNH2 gene. This alteration results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 1601, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 534 to be replaced by a leucine (L). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
