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
Jun 28, 2023
All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces valine with methionine at codon 115 of the KCNH2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have a deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Electrophysiological functional studies suggest that this variant may not impact KCNH2 activity (PMID: 25417810); the clinical relevance of this observation is not known. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with long QT syndrome (PMID: 18441445). This variant has been identified in 4/251426 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

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. This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 115 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Val115Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs150988911, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with long QT syndrome (LQTS) (PMID: 18441445). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67496). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect KCNH2 function (PMID: 25417810, 32475984). 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

The p.V115M variant (also known as c.343G>A), located in coding exon 3 of the KCNH2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 343. The valine at codon 115 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with highly similar properties, and is located in the cytoplasmic PAC region. This variant has been detected in long QT syndrome (LQTS) cohorts; however, details were limited and one reported case carried a second variant in a LQTS-related gene (Nagaoka I et al. Circ J, 2008 May;72:694-9; Jim&eacute;nez-J&aacute;imez J et al. Rev Esp Cardiol (Engl Ed), 2017 Oct;70:808-816). This variant has also been detected in exome cohorts (Amendola LM et al. Genome Res, 2015 Mar;25:305-15). In vitro studies by one group indicated that this variant may not adversely impact protein trafficking or channel function compared to wild type (Anderson CL et al. Nat Commun, 2014 Nov;5:5535). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
