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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points.

PP2
Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 158 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 38 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 3.3724 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 2.4846 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to long QT syndrome 2, Brugada syndrome, short QT syndrome type 1, short QT syndrome, long QT syndrome.
PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.904
BS2
High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 7 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

Long QT syndrome 2 Uncertain:1
Jan 05, 2024
Molecular Genetics, Royal Melbourne Hospital
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change in KCNH2 is predicted to replace serine with leucine at codon 320, p.(Ser320Leu). The serine residue is highly conserved (100 vertebrates, UCSC), and is located in the N-terminus region, amino acids 306-403, which is defined as a mutational hot spot (PMID: 32893267). There is a large physicochemical difference between serine and leucine. The variant is present in a single European (non-Finnish) individual in the population database gnomAD v2.1 (1/113,016 alleles). This variant has been reported in at least three probands with long QT syndrome (PMID: 15840476, 18441445, 19695459). Computational evidence predicts a deleterious effect for the missense substitution (REVEL = 0.846). Based on the classification scheme RMH Modified ACMG/AMP Guidelines v1.6.1, this variant is classified as a VARIANT OF UNCERTAIN SIGNIFICANCE. Following criteria are met: PM1_Supporting, PM2_Supporting, PP3, PS4_Supporting. -

Long QT syndrome Uncertain:1
Oct 22, 2024
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 320 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Ser320Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs199472886, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of long QT syndrome (PMID: 15840476, 19695459, 32893267). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67550). 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 tolerated. 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
Feb 05, 2021
Ambry Genetics
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.959C>T (p.S320L) 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 959, causing the serine (S) at amino acid position 320 to be replaced by a leucine (L). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
