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 testingGeneDxDec 09, 2022Identified in a patient with atrial fibrillation who harbored other variants in the KCNE1, KCNE4, and KCNK3 genes (Mann et al., 2012; Liang et al., 2014); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Patch clamp studies in Chinese hamster ovary cells indicate a potential loss of function effect (Mann et al., 2012); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22402074, 24374141) -

Long QT syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthApr 27, 2023This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 444 of the KCNH2 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). An experimental functional study has shown that this variant may affect the potassium channel function (PMID: 22402074). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with atrial fibrillation (PMID: 22402074). This variant has been identified in 3/251470 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 testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpAug 23, 2022In 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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 191472). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with atrial fibrillation (PMID: 22402074). This variant is present in population databases (rs201268831, gnomAD 0.007%). This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 444 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Glu444Lys). -
Long QT syndrome 2 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaApr 27, 2017This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 08, 2024The p.E444K variant (also known as c.1330G>A), located in coding exon 6 of the KCNH2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1330. The glutamic acid at codon 444 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant has been detected in a proband with atrial fibrillation, and functional studies suggested this variant may cause a modest reduction in channel current; however, additional evidence is needed to confirm this finding (Mann SA et al. J Am Coll Cardiol, 2012 Mar;59:1017-25). This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
