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]

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
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 428 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Ser428Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs199472899, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of long QT syndrome (PMID: 11854117, 14521653, 28438721, 36861347; internal data). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67180). 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. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNH2 function (PMID: 28280240). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1283C>T (p.Ser428Leu) variant in KCNH2 gene, that encodes for potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily H member 2, has been identified in at least ten unrelated individuals affected with long QT syndrome (LQTS) and segregated with disease in six affected individuals in three families (PMID:11854117, 20541041, 24606995, 27379800, 32893267, 31610692, 14521653, 28438721, 26669661). Functional studies revealed that this variant showed some degree of reduction in the membrane expression of the channel protein (PMID: 28280240). This variant is located in the ion channel transmembrane region and this domain is characterized by high enrichment of case variants and >95% probability of pathogenicity (PMID: 32893267). In-silico computational prediction tools suggest that the p.Ser428Leu variant may have deleterious effect on the protein function (REVEL score: 0.922). This variant is found to be rare (10/1614070; 0.0006196%) in the general population database, gnomAD v4.1.0. Therefore, the c.1283C>T (p.Ser428Leu) variant in the KCNH2 gene is classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: KCNH2 c.1283C>T (p.Ser428Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Ion transport domain (IPR005821) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251480 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1283C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Long QT Syndrome (Moss_2002, Kirchhof_2003, Napolitano_2005, Imboden_2006, Itoh_2010, Christiansen_2014, Samol_2016, Marstrand_2021, Aizawa_2023). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Arrhythmia. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 36861347, 24606995, 17192539, 20541041, 14521653, 34531279, 11854117, 16414944, 27379800). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67180). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Reported in association with LQTS; however, detailed clinical information was not provided (Moss et al., 2002); Published functional studies demonstrate that this variant leads to a reduction in membrane expression of the channel protein (Phan et al., 2017); however additional studies are needed to validate the functional effect of this variant in vivo; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 28438721, 16414944, 19862833, 28476926, 11854117, 28280240) -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces serine with leucine at codon 428 of the KCNH2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function. This variant is located within the conserved transmembrane S1 domain of the KCNH2 protein. Rare non-truncating variants in this region have been shown to be significantly overrepresented in individuals with long QT syndrome (PMID: 32893267). A functional study has shown that this variant results in partial reduction in membrane expression of the channel protein and perturbation of potassium channel function (PMID: 28280240). This variant has been reported in an individual with with family history of long QT syndrome (PMID: 11854117) and 4 unaffected individuals from a consanguinious family (PMID: 28438721). This variant has been identified in 5/282858 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. -
