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:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 07, 2024This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 164 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Arg164His). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individuals with long QT syndrome (PMID: 19716085, 22429796; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67508). 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 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. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsOct 31, 2019The c.491G>A (p.R164H) alteration is located in exon 4 (coding exon 4) of the KCNH2 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 491, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 164 to be replaced by a histidine (H). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
