Genes affected

KCNE2 (HGNC:6242): (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily E regulatory subunit 2) Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels represent the most complex class of voltage-gated ion channels from both functional and structural standpoints. Their diverse functions include regulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction, and cell volume. This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, isk-related subfamily. This member is a small integral membrane subunit that assembles with the KCNH2 gene product, a pore-forming protein, to alter its function. This gene is expressed in heart and muscle and the gene mutations are associated with cardiac arrhythmia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The KCNE2 c.197C>T; p.Ala66Val variant (rs16991656) is reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with long QT syndrome (Ackerman 2003). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 67613), but is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The alanine at codon 66 is highly conserved, and computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is deleterious. However, given the lack of clinical and functional data, the significance of the p.Ala66Val variant is uncertain at this time. References: Ackerman MJ et al. Ethnic differences in cardiac potassium channel variants: implications for genetic susceptibility to sudden cardiac death and genetic testing for congenital long QT syndrome.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KCNE2-related conditions. This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 66 of the KCNE2 protein (p.Ala66Val). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67613). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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. -
