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]

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedliterature onlyOMIMMar 10, 2011- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingVictorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research InstituteOct 19, 2020Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.1.1, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0103 - Both loss- and gain-of-function and dominant negative are known mechanisms of disease for this gene. Loss of function and dominant negative are disease mechanisms for long QT syndrome 2 (MIM#613688), whereas gain of function is a disease mechanism for short QT syndrome 1 (MIM#609620). (N) 0107 - This gene is known to be associated with autosomal dominant disease. (N) 0112 - Variants in this gene are known to have reduced penetrance (GeneReview). (N) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from alanine to valine (exon 7). (N) 0251 - Variant is heterozygous. (N) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD. (P) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (P) 0600 - Variant is located in the pore forming region (PMID: 9721698). (N) 0801 - Strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. The variant has been previously reported in multiple patients with LQTS (ClinVar). (P) 1002 - Moderate functional evidence supporting abnormal protein function. In addition, functional studies show that this variant causes LQTS through dominant negative mechanism (PMID: 9721698, 21240260). (P) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available. (N) Legend: (P) - Pathogenic, (N) - Neutral, (B) - Benign -

Long QT syndrome Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpOct 21, 2022For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNH2 function (PMID: 16432067, 19057127, 23303164, 25417810). 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 C0"). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 29777). This missense change has been observed in individuals with long QT syndrome (PMID: 9024139, 9544837, 15090700, 18441445, 18808722, 19057127, 19996378, 22949429). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 614 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Ala614Val). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingMolecular Diagnostic Laboratory for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease, Montreal Heart InstituteAug 30, 2016- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMay 07, 2018Variant summary: KCNH2 c.1841C>T (p.Ala614Val) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Ion transport domain of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 250692 control chromosomes. c.1841C>T has been reported in the literature in numerous individuals affected with Long QT Syndrome. These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Several publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, such as electrophysiological findings (Itzhaki_2011) and intracellular trafficking (Anderson_2006), both of which were impaired in the presence of the variant. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJan 13, 2022Not 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; Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect as this variant exerts a dominant negative effect (Anderson et al., 2006; Sakaguchi et al., 2008; Itzhaki et al., 2011; Jou et al., 2013); Reported in ClinVar as a pathogenic variant (ClinVar Variant ID# 29777); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 19057127, 22949429, 27555138, 19841300, 19716085, 18441445, 25417810, 18752142, 21703926, 21367833, 19070294, 31557540, 19843919, 23303164, 16432067, 25467552, 21240260, 9544837, 9927399, 9024139, 28316956, 28718902, 23864605, 15840476, 18808722, 15090700, 19996378, 11854117, 10560244, 21295269, 21185501, 10973849, 9693036, 9721698) -
Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsApr 10, 2021The p.A614V pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1841C>T), located in coding exon 7 of the KCNH2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1841. The alanine at codon 614 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with similar properties, and is located in the H5 intramembrane pore-forming region between transmembrane helices S5 and S6. This alteration has been identified in many unrelated patients with classic long QT syndrome (LQTS), reported to co-segregate with disease, and identified as a de novo mutation in LQTS probands without familial disease (Tanaka T et al. Circulation, 1997 Feb;95:565-7; Satler CA et al. Hum. Genet., 1998 Mar;102:265-72; Splawski I et al. Genomics, 1998 Jul;51:86-97; Priori SG et al. Circulation, 1999 Feb;99:529-33; Tenenbaum M et al. Isr. Med. Assoc. J., 2008 Nov;10:809-11; Kumakura M et al. J Clin Anesth, 2016 Sep;33:81-5). Numerous functional studies have demonstrated this alteration results in prolonged action-potential duration due to the loss of function of the IKr channel by deficient intracellular protein transport to the cell surface membrane (Nakajima T et al. Circ. Res., 1998 Aug;83:415-22; Sakaguchi T et al. J. Pharmacol. Sci., 2008 Dec;108:462-71; Itzhaki I et al. Nature, 2011 Mar;471:225-9; Jou CJ et al. Circ. Res., 2013 Mar;112:826-30). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
