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:2
Dec 18, 2023
All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces valine with isoleucine at codon 476 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). A functional study has shown that this variant does not cause trafficking deficits in transfected HEK293 cells (PMID: 36339618). This variant has been reported in one individual referred for long QT syndrome genetic testing (PMID: 19716085). This variant has been identified in 2/251476 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. -

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

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 476 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Val476Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs199472908, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of KCNH2-related conditions (PMID: 19716085). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67200). 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

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

The p.V476I variant (also known as c.1426G>A), located in coding exon 6 of the KCNH2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1426. The valine at codon 476 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been detected in a case from a long QT genetic testing cohort (Kapplinger JD et al. Heart Rhythm, 2009 Sep;6:1297-303). One study suggested this variant may not significantly impact protein trafficking (Zhang Y et al. Front Pharmacol, 2022 Oct;13:1010119). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces valine with isoleucine at codon 476 of the KCNH2 protein. This variant is found within a highly conserved transmembrane region (aa 472-495). Rare non-truncating variants in this region have been shown to be significantly overrepresented in individuals with long QT syndrome (PMID: 32893267). Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). A functional study has shown that this variant does not cause trafficking deficits in transfected HEK293 cells (PMID: 36339618). This variant has been reported in one individual referred for long QT syndrome genetic testing (PMID: 19716085). This variant has been identified in 2/251476 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. -
