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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpApr 26, 2024Variant summary: KCNH2 c.2707G>A (p.Gly903Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00014 in 126304 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 1.43 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in KCNH2 causing long QT syndrome (0.0001), suggesting that the variant may be benign. c.2707G>A has been reported in the literature in at least 5 individuals who underwent genetic testing for arrhythmia, at least one individual with epilepsy, and at least one individual who died suddenly as well as a family member with a prolonged QT interval (eg., Kapplinger_2009, Cann_2016, Marschall_2019, van Lint_2019, Soh_2021). However, these data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. At least two publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function; one study demonstrates the variant has a mild effect on channel deactivation kinetics, however both studies conclude there is no effect on protein expression levels when compared to wild type (Ng_2020, Soh_2021). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 27000522, 19716085, 31737537, 31557540, 34002542, 30847666). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67428). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineJan 24, 2017Variant identified in a genome or exome case(s) and assessed due to predicted null impact of the variant or pathogenic assertions in the literature or databases. Disclaimer: This variant has not undergone full assessment. The following are preliminary notes: This variant has been seen in 3 patients referred for LQTS genetic testing. The variant is not in ExAC. It is classified with 1 star in ClinVar as VUS by GeneDx. -
Long QT syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 27, 2024This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 903 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Gly903Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs199473669, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with long QT syndrome or Brugada syndrome (PMID: 19716085, 27000522). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67428). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on KCNH2 function (PMID: 31557540). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthDec 15, 2023This missense variant replaces glycine with arginine at codon 903 of the KCNH2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies have shown that this variant does not change protein expression levels and has no or a mild impact on the potassium channel function (PMID: 31557540, 34002542). This variant has been reported in three individuals referred for long QT syndrome genetic testing (PMID: 19716085) and in an individual affected with epilepsy (PMID: 34002542). This variant has also been reported in an individual affected with sudden death, and in a family member who had prolonged QTc (PMID: 27000522). This variant has been identified in 19/157684 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingFulgent Genetics, Fulgent GeneticsOct 14, 2021- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingNew York Genome CenterMar 31, 2022The c.2707G>A variant has previously been reported in literature as Variant of Uncertain Significance [PMID: 19716085, 28988457, 31737537, 30847666, 32048431] and it has also been deposited in ClinVar [ClinVar ID: 67428] as Variant of Uncertain Significance by multiple submitters. The c.2707G>A variant is observed in 127 alleles (~0.027% MAF with 0 homozygotes) in population databases (gnomAD v2.1.1 and v3.1.2, TOPMed Freeze 8), suggesting it is not a common benign variant inthe populations represented in those databases, which might include individuals with cardiac phenotypes. The c.2707G>A variant is located in exon 12 of this 15-exon gene, and predicted to replace an evolutionarily conserved glycine amino acid with arginine at position 903 in the second disordered region of the encoded protein [UniProtKB ID: Q12809]. Patch-clamp assays with transfected HEK293 cell lines demonstrated modestly accelerated rates of channel deactivation for p.(Gly903Arg) variant compared to wild-type allele [PMID: 31557540]. In silico predictions are also moderately in favor of damaging effect for the p.(Gly903Arg) variant (CADD v1.6 =23.3, REVEL = 0.745). Based on available evidence this c.2707G>A p.(Gly903Arg) variant identified in KCNH2 is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
