Conclusion

Novel heterozygous frameshift variant in the AKAP9 gene was considered as "Uncertain Significance (VUS)" in the ACMG classification. The novel variant is absent from population databases (PM2); it is a null variant (PVS1_moderate). AKAP9 gene has the lowest known rate among the causes of LQTS. Information is limited on genotype-phenotype correlation. Yet it is still among the candidate genes. Although the relationship of the AKAP9 gene with LQTS has not yet been fully indicated, individuals with a pathogenic variant in AKAP9 gene and silent carriers may be at risk for fatal cardiac events. Improvements of the genetic tests in the near future may contribute to the literature and clinical research about AKAP9 gene.
