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]

not provided, no classification providedliterature onlyCardiovascular Biomedical Research Unit, Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust-This variant has been reported in the following publications (PMID:16487223;PMID:14661677;PMID:16043162;PMID:19841300). -
Likely benign, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The KCNH2 p.Gly533Ser variant was identified in 1 of 156 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0064) from a 57 year old Han Chinese woman with Brugada syndrome; the variant was also found in in 2 of 1000 control chromosomes (frequency: 0.002) from healthy Han Chinese individuals (Verker_2005_PMID:16043162). In a study of 744 apparently healthy individuals, the p.G533S variant was identified in 0.3% of African individuals but was not identified in the Caucasian, Asian or Hispanic individuals (Ackerman_2003_PMID:14661677). Another study identified the variant at a frequency of 0.002 in 265 healthy Chinese individuals (Koo_2006_PMID:16487223). The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs41314354), LOVD 3.0 and ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Invitae, Color and Biesecker Lab/Clinical Genomics Section, National Institutes of Health). The variant was identified in control databases in 74 of 281626 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0002628 (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 57 of 24918 chromosomes (freq: 0.002288), East Asian in 13 of 19928 chromosomes (freq: 0.000652), Latino in 2 of 35424 chromosomes (freq: 0.000056) and European (non-Finnish) in 2 of 128482 chromosomes (freq: 0.000016), but was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish, European (Finnish), Other or South Asian populations. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and two of four in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) predict a difference in splicing. The p.Gly533 residue is not conserved in mammals and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. Functional data suggest that the p.G533S variant may be a modifer of K+ channel function (Verker_2005_PMID:16043162). In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMar 31, 2019Variant summary: KCNH2 c.2617G>A (p.Gly873Ser) 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 0.00027 in 278760 control chromosomes (gnomAD and publications), predominantly at a frequency of 0.0023 within the African subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within African control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 23 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in KCNH2 causing Arrhythmia phenotype (0.0001), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African origin. Verkerk et al. (2005) reported c.2617G>A in a patient affected with Brugada syndrome and carried out functional assessments to determine the effect of the variant on protein function. A a negative shift of voltage-dependent inactivation resulting in increased rectification was noted and increased transient peak currents of the ventricular action potential were described. These results do not support an association of this finding with the established pathophysiology of disease in LQT2 (decreased rapid delayed rectifier potassium current) and Brugada syndrome (KCNH2 is not widely recognized as a gene causative of Brugada syndrome). Therefore, these findings do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with disease. A ClinVar submission from a clinical diagnostic laboratory (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
