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 11 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF. No scorers claiming Uncertain. Scorers claiming Benign: max_spliceai.
• PP5: Variant 7-150951442-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-150951442-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 200400.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr7-150951442-A-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Not observed in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect as the splice assays show that this variant results in the KCNH2 protein being retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (Zhang et al., 2004; De Conti et al., 2012); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 15364333, 22617876) -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change falls in intron 7 of the KCNH2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the KCNH2 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with long QT syndrome (PMID: 15364333). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 200400). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that this variant affects KCNH2 function (PMID: 15364333). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant alters mRNA splicing and is expected to lead to the loss of protein expression (PMID: 15364333). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
