not provided Pathogenic:1
The F431L variant that is likely pathogenic was identified in the KCNH2 gene. The F431L variant has been reported in at least one individual referred for LQTS testing (Kapplinger et al., 2009). Furthermore, this variant has been shown to segregate with disease in many affected relatives from a large family referred for LQTS testing at GeneDx. Additionally, the F431L variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). Although, the F431L variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, in silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
The p.F431L pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1293C>A), located in coding exon 6 of the KCNH2 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 1293. The phenylalanine at codon 431 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with highly similar properties, and is located in the S1/S2 transmembrane-spanning region of the protein. This alteration has been reported in a long QT syndrome genetic testing cohort, as well as in an individual with a clinical diagnosis of long QT syndrome, segregating in multiple affected family members (Kapplinger JD et al. Heart Rhythm, 2009 Sep;6:1297-303; GeneDx pers. comm.). In addition, a different alteration located at the same position, resulting in the same protein change, c.1291T>C (p.F431L), has been reported in an individual with a clinical diagnosis of long QT syndrome (Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
Long QT syndrome Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces phenylalanine with leucine at codon 431 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Phe431Leu). The phenylalanine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between phenylalanine and leucine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of long QT syndrome (PMID: 19716085). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67183). 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: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C15"). 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. -
Congenital long QT syndrome Other:1
This variant has been reported as associated with Long QT syndrome in the following publications (PMID:19716085). This is a literature report, and does not necessarily reflect the clinical interpretation of the Imperial College / Royal Brompton Cardiovascular Genetics laboratory. -
