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 c.1592G>A (p.R531Q) alteration is located in exon 7 (coding exon 7) of the KCNH2 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1592, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 531 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). for KCNH2-related long QT syndrome; however, its clinical significance for KCNH2-related short QT syndrome is uncertain. This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This variant was reported in individual(s) with features consistent with long QT syndrome (Splawski, 2000). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This missense alteration is located in a region that has a low rate of benign missense variation (Lek, 2016; Firth, 2009). Based on internal structural analysis, this variant is located in a critical position for channel gating (Ambry internal data). In an assay testing KCNH2 function, this variant showed a functionally abnormal result (McBride, 2013). This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -
