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 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 7-150951691-AG-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-150951691-AG-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 200642.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr7-150951691-AG-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 200642). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with long QT syndrome (PMID: 16414944). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp568Glyfs*26) in the KCNH2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in KCNH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10973849, 19862833). -
