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 7-150948991-GT-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-150948991-GT-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 200654.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Although the c.2456delA mutation in the KCNH2 gene has not been reported previously, this variant causes a shift in reading frame starting at codon Asparagine 819, changing it to a Threonine, and creating a premature stop codon at position 49 of the new reading frame. This variant is expected to result either in an abnormal, truncated protein product or loss of protein from this allele through nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Other frameshift variants in the KCNH2 gene have been reported in association with LQTS. Therefore, c.2456delA in the KCNH2 gene is interpreted to be a pathogenic variant. -
