Long QT syndrome Pathogenic:1Uncertain:2
This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 630 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Val630Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs199472958, gnomAD 0.005%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of KCNH2-related conditions (PMID: 28449774, 34363016). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 222669). 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: 8799887). This variant disrupts the p.Val630 amino acid residue in KCNH2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9693036, 16432067, 23303164). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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. -
Variant summary: KCNH2 c.1888G>A (p.Val630Ile) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Ion transport domain of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.5e-05 in 277200 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The variant, c.1888G>A, has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with sudden arrhythmic death syndrome and long QT syndrome (Lahrouchi_2017, Owen_2018). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. In addition, other missense changes affecting the same codon, p.V630A and p.V630L, and nearby p.N629S, p.N629K, p.N629I, p.N629D, and p.S631A, have been reported in affected individuals suggesting this region could be important for KCNH2 protein function. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. A ClinVar submission from a clinical diagnostic laboratory (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as likely pathogenic. Therefore, based on the variant fulfilling the following ACMG criterias: PM1,PM5,PP3, and PP5, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
This missense variant replaces valine with isoleucine at codon 630 of the KCNH2 protein. This variant is found within a highly conserved pore region (a.a.612-632). Rare nontruncating variants in this region have been shown to be significantly overrepresented in individuals with long QT syndrome (PMID: 32893267). A functional study has shown that this variant has no significant impact on channel function (PMID: 8799887). This variant has been reported in five unrelated individuals affected with or suspected of having long QT syndrome (PMID: 30041777, 32893267, communication with external laboratories ClinVar SCV000263978.2, SCV002723839.1), and in an individual affected with Brugada syndrome (PMID: 34363016), ventricular arrhythmias (ClinVar SCV001754799.1), or sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (PMID: 28449774). This variant has also been observed in individuals with other conditions, including epilepsy, dilated cardiomyopathy and muscular dystrophy, and multiple congenital abnormalities (communication with external laboratories ClinVar SCV002723839.1, SCV001400343.4). This variant has been identified in 7/282860 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different missense variant occurring at the same codon, p.Val630Ala, has been determined to be pathogenic (ClinVar variation ID: 67319, Color), indicating that valine at this position is important for KCNH2 protein function. Although there is a suspicion for a pathogenic role, 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. -
Long QT syndrome 2 Pathogenic:2

This c.1888G>A (p.Val630Ile) variant in the KCNH2 gene has been reported in two unrelated individuals affected with ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (PMID: 30041777, 28449774). It is seen at low frequency (7/282860 alleles) in the gnomAD population database and is predicted to be deleterious by multiple in silico algorithms. Other variants affecting the same codon (p.Val630Ala and p.Val630Leu) have been determined to be likely pathogenic (PMID: 9693036, 16432067, 23303164, 9024139, 11854117, 15840476, 8799887). This variant was identified in an individual with a history of ventricular arrhythmias and syncope s/p ICD placement. Therefore, the c.1888G>A (p.Val630Ile) variant in the KCNH2 gene is classified as likely pathogenic. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
The p.V630I variant (also known as c.1888G>A), located in coding exon 7 of the KCNH2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1888. The valine at codon 630 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been detected in individuals with sudden death or features consistent with long QT syndrome (LQTS); however, in several cases, clinical details were limited or a second variant in a LQTS-related gene was also detected (Lahrouchi N et al. J. Am. Coll. Cardiol., 2017 May;69:2134-2145; Owen HJ et al. Int. J. Cardiol., 2018 Oct;268:132-136; Walsh R et al. Genet Med, 2021 Jan;23:47-58; Nafissi NA et al. Circ Genom Precis Med, 2022 Oct;15:e003675; Ambry internal data). 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 available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
