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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points.

PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 10 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 29 uncertain in NM_000238.4
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP2
Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 158 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 38 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 3.3724 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 2.4846 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to long QT syndrome 2, Brugada syndrome, short QT syndrome type 1, short QT syndrome, long QT syndrome.

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

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis indicates that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Reported in association with long QT syndrome (LQTS) in published literature (PMID: 17088455, 18441445); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 18441445, 17088455) -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 574 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Met574Val). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of long QT syndrome (PMID: 17088455, 18441445; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67252). 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. -
