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]

This variant has also been reported in the heterozgyous and homozygous state in individuals with sudden cardiac death (PMID: 15120823); Published functional studies demonstrate that the p.(A561T) mutant channel expressed in human embryonic kidney cells failed to generate HERG current and causes defective trafficking of the KCNH2 protein to the plasma membrane (PMID: 23303164, 15120823); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 28883014, 16432067, 26669661, 27761161, 18441445, 23470493, 8877771, 16379539, 28855170, 10973849, 20197117, 15828882, 10220144, 11222472, 11854117, 15280442, 19716085, 16253912, 27251404, 18808722, 21367833, 32383558, 32600061, 34546463, 31557540, 23303164, 15840476, 15120823) -

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 561 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Ala561Thr). 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 and congestive heart failure (PMID: 8877771, 10973849, 28855170). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67229). 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 affects KCNH2 function (PMID: 16432067, 23303164, 23470493). This variant disrupts the p.Ala561 amino acid residue in KCNH2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 7889573, 10753933, 12354768, 16432067, 18593567, 22949429, 24606995, 24623279). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.A561T pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1681G>A), located in coding exon 7 of the KCNH2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1681. The alanine at codon 561 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties, and is located in the S5 transmembrane domain. This mutation has been reported in numerous unrelated individuals with long-QT syndrome (LQTS) and was shown to segregate with disease in a family (Dausse E et al. J Mol Cell Cardiol. 1996;28(8):1609-15; Splawski I et al. Circulation. 2000;102(10):1178-85; Kapplinger JD et al. Heart Rhythm. 2009;6(9):1297-303; Matsa E et al. Eur Heart J. 2011;32(8):952-62). Functional assays have demonstrated that the mutation has a dominant negative effect on protein localization and function (Bellocq C et al. Mol Pharmacol. 2004;66(5):1093-102; Chugh SS et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2004;43(9):1625-9; Anderson CL et al. Circulation. 2006;113(3):365-73; Mehta A et al. Cardiovasc Res. 2014; 102(3):497-506). In addition, allele-specific knockdown of the mutant allele was able to rescue cardiomyocytes derived from a LQTS patient who was heterozygous for the p.A561T mutation (Matsa E et al. Eur Heart J. 2014;35(16):1078-87). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -
