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]

Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedprovider interpretationStanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease, Stanford UniversityApr 10, 2017Detected in a teenage Latina female with a history of syncope that appears consistent with vasovagal syncope. Testing was done at GeneDx. p.Pro141Leu in exon 3 of the KCNH2 gene (NM_000238.2) Chromosome position 7:150656710 G / A Assessment: There is not enough confidence in the Pro141Leu variant to use it for diagnosis or for predictive genetic testing in family members. In 2014, GeneDx classified this as a Disease-Causing Mutation. Currently, however, GeneDx classifies it as a Variant of Unknown Significance (VUS) in ClinVar, as does Harvard's Laboratory for Molecular Medicine. Based on the information reviewed below, we classify it as VUS, probably benign, given that it is found at relatively high frequency (0.2% allele frequency) in the Latino general population, which is our patient's ancestry. This would mean that 1 out of every 250 people with Latino ancestry carries this variant, whereas the frequency of LQTS in the general population is ten times less than this (~1/2500 people). The variant was reported in 2 individuals in the Familion compendium, which includes 2500 patients referred for clinical long QT genetic testing (Kapplinger et al 2009). Of note in considering the cases reported by Kapplinger et al (2009) is the lack of solid diagnostic data on this cohort, the low yield of 36% (vs. 70% in cohorts with firm diagnoses of long QT), and the lack of clarity regarding which variants were seen with another variant (9% of the cohort had multiple variants). There is no published segregation data. However: GeneDx reports in ClinVar that the variant did not segregate with the LQTS phenotype in a family tested at GeneDx. This is a conservative amino acid change, resulting in the replacement of a nonpolar Proline with a nonpolar Leucine in the N-terminal PAC regulatory domain of the protein. Proline at this location is poorly conserved across vertebrate species, and Leucine is in fact the default amino acid in at least 7 species for which we have data. No missense variation at nearby residues (+/- 10) is listed as Likely Pathogenic or Pathogenic in ClinVar as of 4/10/2017, which may support the notion that this region of the protein is tolerant of change. GeneDx reports in ClinVar that in silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. This variant was reported in 78 out of 138,488 individuals in the gnomAD database, which includes variant calls on ~140,000 individuals of European, African, Latino, South Asian, Ashkenazi, and East Asian descent. Specifically, the variant was observed in 70/17,210 individuals with Latino ancestry (for the highest allele frequency: 0.2%). It was also observed in 5 non-Finnish European, 1 South Asian, 1 African, and 1 "Other" ancestry. The phenotype of those individuals is not publicly available. The dataset is comprised of multiple cohorts, some of which were recruited from the general population, others were enriched for common cardiovascular disease. The curators made an effort to exclude individuals with severe pediatric diseases. In terms of published controls: It was not observed by Kapplinger et al. (2009) in 1,300 ostensibly healthy volunteers (2,600 reference alleles; 47% Caucasian, 26% African American, 11% Hispanic, 10% Asian, and 6% unknown/other) -

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 18, 2018This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -
