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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Jun 08, 2022	Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect on channel trafficking and/or channel function (Chen et al., 1999; Jou et al., 2013; Anderson et al., 2014; Perry et al., 2016); however, some conflicting studies suggest this variant may have little to no effect on these properties (Gianulis et al., 2011; Harley et al., 2012; Perry et al., 2016); 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: 22396785, 22949429, 23303164, 10973849, 15840476, 11854117, 19841300, 19716085, 10187793, 21536673, 26105569, 15051636, 25294783, 22885918, 26958806, 30012873, 22581653, 33729832, 32475984, 25417810) -

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 70 of the KCNH2 protein (p.His70Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with long QT syndrome (PMID: 10973849, 11854117, 22949429, 25294783; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67363). 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: 10187793, 21536673, 22396785, 23303164). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.H70R variant (also known as c.209A>G), located in coding exon 2 of the KCNH2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 209. The histidine at codon 70 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly similar properties, and is located in the PAS domain. This alteration has been detected in individuals reported to have long QT syndrome (LQTS) (Kapa S et al. Circulation. 2009;120:1752-60; Westenskow P et al. Circulation. 2004;109:1834-41; Vijayakumar R et al. Circulation. 2014;130:1936-43) and has also been detected in LQTS cohorts for which clinical details were limited or not provided, and reports may overlap (Splawski I et al. Circulation. 2000;102:1178-85; Moss AJ et al. Circulation, 2002;105:794-9; Kapplinger JD et al. Heart Rhythm. 2009;6(9):1297-303; Medlock MM et al. Heart Rhythm. 2012;9:1977-82). In vitro analyses of this alteration have suggested both accelerated rate of channel deactivation in the Xenopus oocyte model, and a rate similar to wild type using HEK293 cells (Chen J et al. J. Biol. Chem. 1999;274:10113-8; Anderson CL et al. Nat Commun. 2014;5:5535; Gianulis EC et al. J Biol Chem. 2011;286:22160-9). Another study using zebrafish reported this alteration to result in reduced cardiac repolarization and reduced ability to rescue knockouts compared to wild type (Jou CJ et al. Circ Res. 2013;112:826-30). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
