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, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingStanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease, Stanford UniversityJan 18, 2013Note this variant was found in clinical genetic testing performed by one or more labs who may also submit to ClinVar. Thus any internal case data may overlap with the internal case data of other labs. The interpretation reviewed below is that of the Stanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease. KCNH2 p.Arg148Trp Given the data reviewed below we also consider it a variant of uncertain significance. Millat et al (2009) observed the variant in a 4mo male SIDS case. Kapa et al (2009) report the variant as a polymorphism. They do not provide the frequency of the variant in controls but note that they considered something a polymorphism if it was seen more than once in the 1369 controls they studied. This same group reported the variant in a case of autopsy-negative sudden cardiac death but noted it was a "less common polymorphism" without functional data supporting pathogenicity. Novotny et al (2011) sequenced several long QT genes in individuals with coronary artery disease and ventricular fibrillation and observed this variant in one individual. Crotti et al (2012) reported the variant in one individual with long QT syndrome. No ancestry or segregation data were provided. The variant is in the N-terminal region of the protein. In total the variant has been seen in 25 of 7164 individuals in publicly available general population samples. The variant is listed in dbSNP (rs139544114), pointing to the NHLBI ESP data and also noting that ~9/661 individuals in the ClinSeq population from NIH (a general population cohort) were heterozygotes. The variant was reported online in 16 of 4300 Caucasian individuals and 0 of 2203 African-American individuals in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project dataset (as of January 18th, 2012). The phenotype of those individuals is not publicly available, however the cohorts that were merged to create this dataset were all either general population samples or samples recruited for common cardiovascular disease such as hypertension. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineApr 25, 2016Variant identified in a genome or exome case(s) and assessed due to predicted null impact of the variant or pathogenic assertions in the literature or databases.

Likely benign, 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. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsOct 20, 2017This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
