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]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 9 of the KCNH2 mRNA (c.2218dupT), causing a frameshift at codon 740. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys740Leufs*64) and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in KCNH2 are known to be pathogenic. This particular variant has been reported in the literature in one individual affected with long QT syndrome (PMID: 10973849). This variant is also known as H739fs/63 in the literature. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
