Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP3_ModeratePP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000238.4(KCNH2):c.2255G>A(p.Arg752Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000131 in 152,158 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R752W) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Long QT syndrome 2 Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided | literature only | OMIM | May 01, 2003 | - - |
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Clinical Genomics Laboratory, Washington University in St. Louis | Aug 31, 2023 | The KCNH2 c.2255G>A (p.Arg752Gln) variant has been reported in two individuals affected with Long QT syndrome, one heterozygote (Choi SH et al., PMID: 34319147) and one homozygote (Johnson WH et al., PMID: 12621127). Johnson and colleagues make note that three family members to the homozygous patient were heterozygous for the p.Arg752Gln variant and were asymptomatic (Johnson WH et al., PMID: 12621127). The variant is only observed on 2 alleles out of 281,892 alleles in the general population (gnomAD v.2.1.1), indicating it is not a common variant. Functional studies show that this variant leads to significantly decreased channel function and disrupts protein trafficking (Anderson CL et al., PMID: 25417810; Johnson WH et al., PMID: 12621127). Computational predictors indicate that the variant is damaging, evidence that correlates with impact to KCNH2 function. Another variant in the same codon, c.2254C>T (p.Arg752Trp), has been reported in affected individuals with Long QT and is considered pathogenic (Ficker E et al., PMID: 11009462; Itoh H et al., PMID: 26669661; Nagaoka I et al., PMID: 18441445; Splawski I et al., PMID: 10973849; Stattin EL et al., PMID: 23098067, ClinVar Variation ID: 67379). This variant has been reported in the ClinVar database as a pathogenic variant, a likely pathogenic variant, and a variant of uncertain significance by one submitter each in association for Long QT syndrome. Based on available information and the ACMG/AMP guidelines for variant interpretation (Richards S et al., PMID: 25741868), this variant is classified as likely pathogenic. - |
Long QT syndrome Pathogenic:1Uncertain:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp | Jan 22, 2024 | This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 752 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Arg752Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs121912512, gnomAD 0.008%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with long QT interval (PMID: 12621127, 34319147; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 14435). 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: 12621127, 25417810). This variant disrupts the p.Arg752 amino acid residue in KCNH2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10973849, 11009462, 18441445). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. - |

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | GeneDx | Jul 04, 2024 | Reported as a homozygous variant in a patient with Long QT syndrome diagnosed in utero; however, heterozygous family members had normal QT intervals (PMID: 12621127); Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect as this variant leads to significantly decreased channel function and causes a protein trafficking defect (PMID: 12621127, 25417810); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); 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: 25417810, 25637381, 37324772, 34309407, 12621127, 34570182, 34319147) - |
