Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000238.4(KCNH2):c.3017del(p.Gly1006AlafsTer51) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000705 in 1,418,556 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. G1006G) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]

Long QT syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeSep 26, 2021For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with KCNH2-related conditions (PMID: 12877697, 15840476). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate insufficient coverage at this position in the ExAC database. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly1006Alafs*51) 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). -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingCenter for Genomics, Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of ChicagoMar 30, 2021KCNH2 NM_000238.3 exon 13 p.Gly1006Alafs*51 (c.3017delG): This variant has been reported in the literature in at least 3 individuals with LQTS (Nemec 2003 PMID:12877697 ). This variant is not present in large control databases but is present in ClinVar (Variation ID:200799). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools for this variant are limited or unavailable. This variant creates a premature stop codon 51 amino acids downstream from this location which results in an absent or abnormal protein. Loss of function variants are a known mechanism of disease for this gene (Hedley 2009 PMID:19862833). In summary, this variant is classified as pathogenic based on the data above. -
