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]

Long QT syndrome 2 Pathogenic:1

Jul 23, 2025

Victorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research Institute

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is classified as Pathogenic. Evidence in support of pathogenic classification: Variant is absent from gnomAD (v2, v3 and v4); This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been classified as pathogenic by clinical laboratories in ClinVar, and reported in the literature in individuals with long QT syndrome (PMID: 23098067, 16414944, 35700634); This variant has moderate functional evidence supporting abnormal protein function. In vitro functional studies demonstrated impaired intracellular trafficking and an absence of measurable current on patch clamp studies (PMID: 23721480, 21536673); Another missense variant comparable to the one identified in this case has limited previous evidence for pathogenicity. p.(Tyr43Asp) has been reported in the literature in a family with long QT syndrome (PMID: 18441445); Variant is located in a hotspot region or cluster of PATHOGENIC variants (DECIPHER); Missense variant predicted to be damaging by in silico tool(s) or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. Additional information: Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from Tyr to Cys; This variant is heterozygous; This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease; 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, PMID: 10753933; PMID: 21777565); The condition associated with this gene has incomplete penetrance (PMID: 20301308); Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek 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: 25820318, 25417810, 23303164, 16414944, 21536673, 29725305, 32475984)

Long QT syndrome Pathogenic:1

Aug 15, 2022

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Tyr43 amino acid residue in KCNH2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with KCNH2-related conditions (PMID: 18441445, 19419905), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNH2 function (PMID: 21536673, 23303164, 23721480, 25417810, 29725305). 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: 67182). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with long QT syndrome (PMID: 16414944, 23098067; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 43 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Tyr43Cys).
