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]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as VUS-3B. Following criteria are met: 0103 - Dominant negative and loss of function are known mechanisms of disease in this gene and are associated with long QT syndrome 2 (MIM#613688). Gain of function is also a known mechanism, associated with short QT syndrome 1 (MIM#609620) (OMIM, PMIDs: 10753933, 21777565). (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. (I) 0112 - The condition associated with this gene has incomplete penetrance (PMID: 20301308). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from alanine to glycine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0302 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2 & v3) <0.001 for a dominant condition (5 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0309 - Multiple alternative amino acid changes at the same position have been observed in gnomAD (v2 & v3) (highest allele count: 4 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (I) 0503 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be tolerated by multiple in silico tools or not conserved in placental mammals with a minor amino acid change. (SB) 0604 - Variant is not located in an established domain, motif, hotspot or informative constraint region. (I) 0710 - Other missense variants comparable to the one identified in this case have inconclusive previous evidence for pathogenicity. A major amino acid change, p.(Ala244Glu) and a minor amino acid change, p.(Ala244Val) have been reported as VUS by a clinical testing laboratory, however it is unclear whether the variants were identified in affected individuals (ClinVar). (I) 0809 - Previous evidence of pathogenicity for this variant is inconclusive. It has been reported as a VUS by a clinical testing laboratory, however it is unclear whether it was identified in affected individuals (ClinVar). (I) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 244 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Ala244Gly). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KCNH2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1511646). 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 tolerated. 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.A244G variant (also known as c.731C>G), located in coding exon 4 of the KCNH2 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 731. The alanine at codon 244 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with similar properties, and is located in the N-terminal cytoplasmic region. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
