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 Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthOct 06, 2023This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 948 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). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in two individuals affected with long QT syndrome (PMID: 16922724, 31521807). This variant has been identified in 10/166182 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 14, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 948 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Arg948Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs121912514, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with long QT syndrome (PMID: 16922724). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 14441). 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. -
