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 Benign:1
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaFeb 06, 2018This 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. -
not specified Benign:1
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpSep 03, 2019Variant summary: KCNH2 c.*15G>A is located in the untranslated mRNA region downstream of the termination codon. 5/5 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0026 in 199372 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 13 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 26 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in KCNH2 causing Arrhythmia phenotype (0.0001), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.*15G>A in individuals affected with Arrhythmia and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Benign:1
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsDec 18, 2014This 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. -
