Genes affected
HCN4 (HGNC:16882): (hyperpolarization activated cyclic nucleotide gated potassium channel 4) This gene encodes a member of the hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated potassium channels. The encoded protein shows slow kinetics of activation and inactivation, and is necessary for the cardiac pacemaking process. This channel may also mediate responses to sour stimuli. Mutations in this gene have been linked to sick sinus syndrome 2, also known as atrial fibrillation with bradyarrhythmia or familial sinus bradycardia. Two pseudogenes have been identified on chromosome 15. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

The p.P846L variant (also known as c.2537C>T), located in coding exon 8 of the HCN4 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2537. The proline at codon 846 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was detected in a cardiomyopathy/arrhythmia genetic testing cohort; however, clinical details were limited, and additional cardiac variants were detected in some cases (van Lint FHM et al. Neth Heart J, 2019 Jun;27:304-309). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
