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:3
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthFeb 05, 2024This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 312 of the KCNH2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in two individuals affected with long QT syndrome (PMID: 10973849, 19716085, 30246897), and in an individual affected with dilated cardiomyopathy, who also carried a pathogenic variant in the MYH7 gene that could explain the observed phenotype (PMID: 30996762). This variant has been identified in 26/281662 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpOct 14, 2020This sequence change replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 312 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Arg312Cys). The arginine residue is weakly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between arginine and cysteine. This variant is present in population databases (rs199472885, ExAC 0.02%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of KCNH2-related conditions (PMID: 30758498, 30246897, 10973849, 23861362). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67547). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: Deleterious; PolyPhen-2: Possibly Damaging; Align-GVGD: Class C0). 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 25, 2020Variant summary: KCNH2 c.934C>T (p.Arg312Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0001 in 250256 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00058 within the Latino subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Latino control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 5 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in KCNH2 causing Long QT Syndrome phenotype (0.00012), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Latino origin. c.934C>T has been reported in the literature in and individual with sinus bradycardia, first-degree atrioventricular block, moderate mitral regurgitation, and impaired left ventricular relaxation on ECHO (Ng_2013), in an infant with isolated isolated bi-ventricular non-compaction presented with restrictive hemodynamics (Miura_2019) and in several individuals with Long QT syndrome (e.g. Splawski_2000, Song_2018, Shimizu_2009, Kapplinger_2009). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance (n=3) or pathogenic (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsApr 05, 2021The c.934C>T (p.R312C) alteration is located in exon 5 (coding exon 5) of the KCNH2 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 934, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 312 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
