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]

Reported in a family with LQTS who also harbored a KCNH2 frameshift variant in trans; the p.(Q1068R) variant did not segregate with disease, whereas the frameshift variant demonstrated complete segregation with disease (PMID: 28049825); Functional studies demonstrate an alteration in channel gating; however, it is unclear how these studies may translate to a pathogenic role in vivo (PMID: 14975928); 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: 29752375, 23303164, 14661677, 22581653, 14975928, 19841300, 30403391, 15913580, 35243873, 22949429, 28049825) -

Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant is located in the cytoplasmic domain of the KCNH2 protein. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses are inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on the protein function. Computational splicing tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. An experimental functional study has shown that this variant may accelerate channel inactivated and recovery from inactivation (PMID: 14975928). However, clinical significance of this finding is not clear. This variant has been reported in individuals apparently unaffected with cardiovascular disorders (PMID: 14661677, 19841300). In one family affected with long QT syndrome, the disease did not segregate with this variant but segregated with a truncation variant in the KCHN2 gene (PMID: 28049825). This variant has also been identified in 11/244472 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Although there is no indication that this variant causes disease, 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. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Benign:1

Ambry Genetics
Significance: Likely benign
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely 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. -
