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]

Brugada syndrome 8 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJul 28, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1022*) in the HCN4 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 182 amino acid(s) of the HCN4 protein. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with HCN4-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 470663). 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. -
HCN4-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesSep 03, 2023The HCN4 c.3064C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg1022*). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.0056% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/15-73615370-G-A). Loss of function has not been conclusively established as a mechanism for HCN4-related disorders. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
