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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Phe1168Glyfs*12) in the HCN4 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 36 amino acid(s) of the HCN4 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs771725926, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with sinus node disease (PMID: 23861362). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 191377). 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. -

The c.3502_3505delTTTG variant, located in coding exon 8 of the HCN4 gene, results from a deletion of 4 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 3502 to 3505, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.F1168Gfs*12). This variant has been detected in individuals reported to have Brugada syndrome and atrial fibrillation; however, clinical details were limited and additional variants in arrhythmia-associated genes were detected in some cases (van Lint FHM et al. Neth Heart J. 2019 Jun;27(6):304-309; Sarquella-Brugada G et al. Hum Genet, 2022 Oct;141(10):1579-1589). This alteration is expected to result in protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. However, loss of function of HCN4 has not been established as a mechanism of disease. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
