Pacemaker channels of the sinoatrial node generate spontaneous activity and mediate cAMP-dependent autonomic modulation of the heart rate. The mutation associated with bradycardia is located near the cAMP-binding site; functional analysis showed that mutant channels respond normally to cAMP but are activated at more negative voltages than are wildtype channels. These changes, which mimic those of mild vagal stimulation, slow the heart rate by decreasing the inward diastolic current. Thus, diminished function of pacemaker channels is linked to familial bradycardia. <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?cmd=link&linkname=pubmed_pubmed&from_uid=16407510" target="_blank" onclick="gtag('event', 'mim_outbound', {'name': 'PubMed Related', 'domain': 'pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov'})"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus-sign mim-tip-hint" title="Click this 'reference-plus' icon to see articles related to this paragraph in PubMed."></span></a></p><p>In 8 affected members of a 4-generation family with asymptomatic sinus bradycardia, <a href="#9" class="mim-tip-reference" title="Nof, E., Luria, D., Brass, D., Marek, D., Lahat, H., Reznik-Wolf, H., Pras, E., Dascal, N., Eldar, M., Glikson, M. &lt;strong&gt;Point mutation in the HCN4 cardiac ion channel pore affecting synthesis, trafficking, and functional expression is associated with familial asymptomatic sinus bradycardia.&lt;/strong&gt; Circulation 116: 463-470, 2007.[PubMed: &lt;a href=&quot;https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17646576/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; onclick=&quot;gtag(&#x27;event&#x27;, &#x27;mim_outbound&#x27;, {&#x27;name&#x27;: &#x27;PubMed&#x27;, &#x27;domain&#x27;: &#x27;pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x27;})&quot;&gt;17646576&lt;/a&gt;] [&lt;a href=&quot;https://doi.org/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.107.706887&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; onclick=&quot;gtag(&#x27;event&#x27;, &#x27;mim_outbound&#x27;, {&#x27;destination&#x27;: &#x27;Publisher&#x27;})&quot;&gt;Full Text&lt;/a&gt;]" pmid="17646576">Nof et al.

The mutation, which was found by sequencing of a custom gene panel, was inherited from their father who had an unknown early medical history. The authors stated that the variant was present at a low frequency (8.122 x 10(-06)) in the general population in the gnomAD database. Electrophysiologic studies in CHO cells showed that the mutation caused a negative shift in the activation curve compared to wildtype, consistent with a loss of channel function. Neuronal hyperexcitability and increased firing was observed in neuronal cells transfected with the mutation, which exerted a dominant effect when coexpressed with wildtype. Similar electrophysiologic findings were found in rat ventricular cardiomyocytes transfected with the mutation. Although neither the affected brothers nor their father had clinical cardiac abnormalities, all had low resting heart rates. <a href="#2" class="mim-tip-reference" title="Campostrini, G., DiFrancesco, J.

<p>The HCN4 gene encodes a member of the hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel family, which are expressed at the cell membrane and contribute to the resting membrane potential. HCN4 is expressed in the heart and in several brain regions, including the thalamus (summary by Campostrini et al., 2018). </p>

<strong>Cloning and Expression</strong>

<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Cardiac pacemaking is produced by the slow diastolic depolarization phase of the action potential. The hyperpolarization-activated cation current forms an important part of the pacemaker depolarization and consists of 2 kinetic components, fast and slow. To elucidate the molecular identity of cardiac pacemaking channels, Ludwig et al. (1999) screened a human heart cDNA library with a probe corresponding to a highly conserved portion of the mouse HCN1 (602780) channel and identified 2 cDNAs, HCN2 (602781) and HCN4. The HCN4 cDNA predicts a protein of 1,203 amino acids. HCN4 contains 6 putative transmembrane segments, a pore region, and a cyclic nucleotide-binding domain (CNBD). Northern blot and PCR analyses showed that HCN4 is expressed at heart ventricle and atrium. </p><p>Seifert et al. (1999) independently cloned HCN4. Northern blot analysis showed the HCN4 transcripts were expressed in heart, brain, and testis. Within the brain, the thalamus is the predominant area of HCN4 expression. </p><p>By in situ hybridization and immunohistochemical analysis of mouse embryos at embryonic day 10.5, Stieber et al. (2003) detected high levels of Hcn4 mRNA and protein in developing embryonic cardiac regions, including the walls of the common cardinal veins entering the sinus venosa. Much lower expression was detected in the developing central nervous system. </p>

<strong>Gene Function</strong>

</h4>
</div>
<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Ludwig et al. (1999) expressed HCN4 in HEK293 cells and observed that HCN4 gives rise to hyperpolarization-activated cation currents with the hallmark features of the native cation current. HCN4 currents differ profoundly from HCN2 currents in their activation kinetics, being slow and fast, respectively. </p><p>Seifert et al. (1999) demonstrated that heterologous expression of HCN4 produced channels of unusually slow kinetics of activation and inactivation. The mean potential of half-maximal activation was -75.2 mV. The characteristic expression pattern and the sluggish gating suggested to Seifert et al. (1999) that HCN4 controls the rhythmic activity in both thalamocortical neurons and pacemaker cells of the heart. The strong hybridization with testis mRNA further suggested to Seifert et al. (1999) that HCN4 is also expressed in mature spermatozoa or their precursor cells. In this respect, HCN4 may represent the mammalian equivalent of the HCN channel in the flagellum of sea urchin spermatozoa (Gauss et al., 1998). Seifert et al. (1999) proposed that both the sea urchin channel and the human HCN4 may be involved in the generation of rhythmic activity that controls the waveform of flagellar beating. </p><p>Sour taste is initiated by protons acting at receptor proteins or channels. Stevens et al. (2001) examined the effects of sour stimuli on taste cells in slices of vallate papilla from rat. From a subset of cells, Stevens et al. (2001) identified a hyperpolarization-activated current that was enhanced by sour stimulation at the taste pore. This current resembled I(h) found in neurons and cardiomyocytes, a current carried by members of the family of hyperpolarization-activated and cyclic-nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels. Stevens et al. (2001) showed by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry that HCN1 and HCN4 are expressed in a subset of taste cells. By contrast, gustducin (139395), the G protein involved in bitter and sweet taste, was not expressed in these cells. Stevens et al. (2001) concluded that HCN channels are gated by extracellular protons and may act as receptors for sour taste. </p>

<p><strong><em>Sick Sinus Syndrome 2</em></strong></p><p>
In a 66-year-old woman with symptomatic sinus bradycardia (SSS2; 163800), Schulze-Bahr et al. (2003) identified heterozygosity for a 1-bp deletion (605206.0002) in the HCN4 gene that was not found in 362 control chromosomes. Patch-clamp experiments in COS-7 cells demonstrated that the mutant channels mediated I(f) currents that were insensitive to increased cellular cAMP levels; coexpression studies showed a dominant-negative effect of the mutant subunits on wildtype subunits. </p><p>Ueda et al. (2004) analyzed the HCN4 gene in 6 patients with sinus node dysfunction, 3 patients with progressive cardiac conduction disturbances, and 14 patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation, all of whom were negative for mutations in 6 known ion channel genes, and identified heterozygosity for a mutation in 1 proband with sinus node dysfunction (D553N; 605206.0003). The mutation was also found in the proband's affected sister and son, and was not present in 380 control chromosomes. In vitro analysis showed reduced membrane expression associated with decreased I(f) currents because of a trafficking defect of the HCN4 channel in a dominant-negative fashion. </p><p>Milanesi et al. (2006) found that sinus bradycardia was associated with a mutation (605206.0001) in the gene encoding the pacemaker HCN4 ion channel. Pacemaker channels of the sinoatrial node generate spontaneous activity and mediate cAMP-dependent autonomic modulation of the heart rate. The mutation associated with bradycardia is located near the cAMP-binding site; functional analysis showed that mutant channels respond normally to cAMP but are activated at more negative voltages than are wildtype channels. These changes, which mimic those of mild vagal stimulation, slow the heart rate by decreasing the inward diastolic current. Thus, diminished function of pacemaker channels is linked to familial bradycardia. </p><p>In 8 affected members of a 4-generation family with asymptomatic sinus bradycardia, Nof et al. (2007) identified a heterozygous mutation in the HCN4 gene (G480R; 605206.0004). </p><p>In a 4-generation German family with sinus bradycardia, biventricular hypertrabeculation, and mitral valve prolapse (MVP), Schweizer et al. (2010) identified heterozygosity for a 13-bp insertion in the HCN4 gene (605206.0007) that segregated fully with disease. </p><p>In affected members of a large Dutch family with bradycardia, left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC), and MVP, Milano et al. (2014) identified heterozygosity for a missense mutation in the HCN4 gene (G482R; 605206.0008). Analysis of HCN4 in 3 families with a similar phenotype revealed heterozygosity for a Y481H mutation (605206.0009) in 2 of them, and an A414G mutation (605206.0010) in the third. The mutations segregated with disease in each family and were not found in controls or in public variant databases. </p><p>In a German mother and 2 children with sinus node dysfunction, LVNC, and MVP, Schweizer et al. (2014) identified heterozygosity for the G482R mutation in the HCN4 gene. In addition, the mother was homozygous and the 2 children heterozygous for a variant of unknown significance in the CSRP3 gene (W4R; see 600824.0001); the authors stated that this variant was unlikely to be a primary cause of the cardiac noncompaction phenotype, but suggested that it might make a modifying contribution. </p><p>In a family with sinus bradycardia, LVNC, MVP, and dilation of the ascending aorta, Vermeer et al. (2016) identified the Y481H mutation in the HCN4 gene. Vermeer et al. (2016) reviewed multimodal imaging studies available from previously described patients with HCN4 mutations (Schweizer et al., 2014; Milano et al., 2014) and detected dilation of the ascending aorta in 13 of 18 patients with adequate studies, for an overall detection rate of 77% in HCN4 mutation carriers. </p><p><strong><em>Brugada Syndrome 8</em></strong></p><p>
In a 41-year-old man with Brugada syndrome-8 (BRGDA8; 613123) who was negative for mutation in the SCN5A gene (600163), Ueda et al. (2009) identified heterozygosity for a splice site mutation in the HCN4 gene (605206.0005). </p><p><strong><em>Susceptibility to Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy 18</em></strong></p><p>
In 2 brothers with idiopathic generalized epilepsy-18 (EIG18; 619521), Campostrini et al. (2018) identified a heterozygous missense mutation in the HCN4 gene (R550C; 605206.0011). Electrophysiologic studies in CHO cells showed that the mutation caused a negative shift in the activation curve compared to wildtype, consistent with a loss of channel function. Neuronal hyperexcitability and increased firing was observed in neuronal cells transfected with the mutation, which exerted a dominant effect when coexpressed with wildtype. Campostrini et al. (2018) concluded that reduced HCN4 current contribution may affect input membrane resistance and resting membrane potential, causing cell hyperexcitability. </p><p>Becker et al. (2017) identified a heterozygous missense variant (E153G) in the HCN4 gene in a girl who had a single generalized tonic-clonic seizures at 17 years of age. The variant, which was found by direct sequencing, was not present in the ExAC database. However, there were 4 additional family members with various types of seizures who did not carry the variant. Electrophysiologic studies showed that the variant caused a hyperpolarizing shift in the voltage dependence of activation, resulting in reduced function at a physiologic relevant voltage range. The authors suggested that the variant alone is unlikely to cause epilepsy, but that it may contribute along with variants in other genes to the polygenic nature of the disorder. </p><p><strong><em>Reclassified Variants</em></strong></p><p>
The S84L mutation (605206.0006) in the HCN4 gene has been reclassified as a variant of unknown significance. In a 64-year-old woman with Brugada syndrome, Crotti et al. (2012) identified a heterozygous missense mutation in the HCN4 gene (S84L; 605206.0006). The woman was 1 of 129 unrelated patients with possible or probable Brugada syndrome who were screened for mutation in 12 Brugada syndrome 'susceptibility genes.' </p>

<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Stieber et al. (2003) found that Hcn4 +/- mice were viable, bred normally, and were indistinguishable from wildtype littermates. However, Hcn4 -/- embryos died at about embryonic day 9.5. Cardiac-specific deletion of Hcn4 resulted in the same embryonic lethality as global deletion. Hcn4-deleted embryos had slower heart rates than wildtype, and no mature pacemaker-like action potentials were detected, although there were immature pacemaker-like action potentials. The heart rate and action potential rate could not be accelerated by cAMP. Stieber et al. (2003) concluded that HCN4 is essential for the proper generation of pacemaker potentials in the emerging sinoatrial node. </p>

<p>Milanesi et al. (2006) screened 52 persons with bradycardia (SSS2; 163800) for mutations in the coding region of the pacemaker gene HCN4. They identified the proband of an Italian family who had asymptomatic sinus bradycardia (heart rate, 43 beats per minute) and carried a missense mutation in exon 7, ser672 to arg (S672R), which arose from a C-to-A transversion at nucleotide 2016. They then examined DNA from a total of 27 members of the same family. PCR-SSCP analysis showed that the S672R mutation cosegregated with the bradycardia phenotype, indicating an autosomal dominant pattern. The heart rate varied from 43 to 60 beats per minute in persons with the mutated gene and from 64 to 81 beats per minute in those with the wildtype gene. Milanesi et al.

<p>In 2 brothers with idiopathic generalized epilepsy-18 (EIG18; 619521), Campostrini et al. (2018) identified a heterozygous c.1648C-T transition (c.1648C-T, NM_005477) in the HCN4 gene, resulting in an arg550-to-cys (R550C) substitution at a conserved residue in the intracellular B-prime helix domain of the C linker. The mutation, which was found by sequencing of a custom gene panel, was inherited from their father who had an unknown early medical history. The authors stated that the variant was present at a low frequency (8.122 x 10(-06)) in the general population in the gnomAD database. Electrophysiologic studies in CHO cells showed that the mutation caused a negative shift in the activation curve compared to wildtype, consistent with a loss of channel function. Neuronal hyperexcitability and increased firing was observed in neuronal cells transfected with the mutation, which exerted a dominant effect when coexpressed with wildtype. Similar electrophysiologic findings were found in rat ventricular cardiomyocytes transfected with the mutation. Although neither the affected brothers nor their father had clinical cardiac abnormalities, all had low resting heart rates. Campostrini et al. (2018) concluded that reduced HCN4 current contribution may affect input membrane resistance and resting membrane potential, causing cell hyperexcitability. </p>
