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]

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 323 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Asp323Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs199472887, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Long QT syndrome (PMID: 19716085). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67551). 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

This missense variant replaces aspartic acid with asparagine at codon 323 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). This variant is found within a highly conserved cytoplasmic region (a.a. 1-403). Rare non-truncating variants in this region have been shown to be significantly overrepresented in individuals with long QT syndrome (PMID: 32893267). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in at least one individual suspected long QT syndrome (PMID: 19716085, 26920202). One of these individuals also carried a pathogenic variant in the KCNQ1 gene that could explain the observed phenotype (PMID:26920202). This variant has been identified in 7/282048 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.967G>A (p.D323N) alteration is located in exon 5 (coding exon 5) of the KCNH2 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 967, causing the aspartic acid (D) at amino acid position 323 to be replaced by an asparagine (N). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
