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]

Long QT syndrome Pathogenic:2
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthDec 15, 2023This missense variant replaces serine with leucine at codon 660 of C-terminal cytoplasmic domain 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). A functional study has shown that this variant has no significant impact on the trafficking of KCNH2 protein in transfected HEK293 cells (PMID: 25417810). This variant has been observed in about ten individuals affected with or suspected of long QT syndrome (PMID: 16414944, 19716085, 23158531, 28488422, ClinVar SCV000737497.4, SCV000543477.8, SCV001653075.1) and reported to be a de novo occurrence in one of them and segregate with disease in two families (ClinVar SCV000737497.4). This variant has also been reported in an individual with J-point elevation and prolonged QTc interval in electrocardiogram, who had a first-degree relative that died of sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (PMID: 21737021). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 19, 2023This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 660 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Ser660Leu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of long QT syndrome (PMID: 16414944, 19716085, 31737537; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67352). 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 disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect KCNH2 function (PMID: 25417810). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
Congenital long QT syndrome Pathogenic:1Other:1
not provided, no classification providedliterature onlyCardiovascular Biomedical Research Unit, Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust-This variant has been reported as associated with Long QT syndrome in the following publications (PMID:16414944;PMID:19716085). This is a literature report, and does not necessarily reflect the clinical interpretation of the Imperial College / Royal Brompton Cardiovascular Genetics laboratory. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineNov 09, 2022The p.Ser660Leu variant in KCNH2 has been previously reported in at least 6 individuals with Long QT syndrome (LQTS) and in 5 individuals referred for LQTS genetic testing (Crotti 2012 PMID: 23158531, Kapplinger 2009 PMID: 19716085, Napolitano 2005 PMID: 16414944, Nunn 2011 PMID: 21737021, Marschall 2019 PMID: 31737537, GeneDx pers. comm.). It has also been reported by other clinical laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID 67352), including one submission that states the variant was found to be de novo in an individual with LQTS, and that the variant segregated in five affected relatives across 2 families (SCV000234136.9). This variant is absent from large population studies. An in vitro functional study did not find that this variant was associated with abnormal trafficking compared to wild-type (Anderson 2014 PMID 25417810); however, it is unclear how the variant affects the biophysical properties of the channel. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses are consistent with pathogenicity. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant LQTS.

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxOct 27, 2023Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Although functional studies did not identify a trafficking defect when S660L mutant channel was co-expressed with wild type channel in HEK293 cells, the biophysical properties of the mutant channels were not investigated (PMID: 25417810); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 19862833, 23158531, 21737021, 16414944, 19716085, 28488422, 31737537, 36339618, 25417810) -
Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJun 01, 2023The p.S660L pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1979C>T), located in coding exon 8 of the KCNH2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1979. The serine at codon 660 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This mutation was reported in several individuals with long QT syndrome (LQTS) (Napolitano C et al. JAMA. 2005;294(23):2975-80). Additionally, this mutation was described as likely de novo in a sporadic case of LQTS and observed to segregate with disease in multiple individuals in two other families (Napolitano C, personal communication). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
