Description

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1014*) 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). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with severe and mild long QT syndrome (PMID: 10973849, 14642687). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 200518). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Description

Variant summary: KCNH2 c.3040C>T (p.Arg1014X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant was absent in 165078 control chromosomes. c.3040C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Long QT Syndrome (example Splawski_2000, Lieve_2013, Westphal _2020). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. Experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function demonstrated the variant causes HERG channel dysfunction by defective trafficking of the mutant protein (Gong_2004). Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
