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]

The KCNH2 c.2729C>T; p.Pro910Leu variant (rs199473436; ClinVar Variation ID: 67430) has not been reported in the literature in association with long or short QT syndrome, but has been observed in multiple control cohorts (Ackerman 2003, Giudicessi 2012, Kapa 2009). This variant is found in the African/African-American population with an allele frequency of 0.07% (10/14842 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1). Computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.424). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time.

Variant observed in at least one African American individual from published control cohorts (Ackerman et al., 2003; Kapa et al., 2009; Giudicessi et al., 2012); Reported in ClinVar as a variant of uncertain significance but additional evidence is not available (ClinVar Variant ID# 67430; Landrum et al., 2016); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 14661677, 31493592, 26582918, 27535533, 22581653, 19841300, 22949429) -

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

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 910 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Pro910Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs199473436, gnomAD 0.07%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with inherited arrhythmias (PMID: 25417810). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67430). 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 tolerated. 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. -

Variant summary: KCNH2 c.2729C>T (p.Pro910Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00011 in 153726 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00067 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 7 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in KCNH2 causing Arrhythmia phenotype (0.0001), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. c.2729C>T has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with sickle cell anemia as well as in one healthy control (Ackerman_2003, Wonkam_2020). 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. Four ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as likely benign (n=1) and uncertain significance (n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

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

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
