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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 8 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

The p.E28* variant (also known as c.82G>T), located in coding exon 1 of the HCN4 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 82. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 1. Premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature. However, loss of function through HCN4 protein truncation has not been clearly established as a mechanism of disease. Prior studies reporting HCN4 frameshift and splice alterations did not demonstrate that channel truncation was truly pathogenic in the patients in whom the sequence alterations were identified (Schulze-Bahr E et al. J. Clin. Invest., 2003 May;111:1537-45; Ueda K et al. J. Hum. Genet., 2009 Feb;54:115-21; Schweizer PA et al. Circ Arrhythm Electrophysiol, 2010 Oct;3:542-52). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
