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]

KCNH2 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a topological_domain Extracellular (size 42) in uniprot entity KCNH2_HUMAN there are 29 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_000238.4
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.37493318).
• BS2: High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 6 AD,Digenic gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

This sequence change replaces methionine with threonine at codon 579 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Met579Thr). The methionine residue is weakly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between methionine and threonine. 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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical suspicion for long QT syndrome (PMID: 20541041). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67255). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). -
