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]

Submissions by phenotype

Long QT syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthDec 01, 2023This missense variant replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 148 of the KCNH2 protein. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses are inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on the protein function. Computational splicing tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional assays have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (PMID: 29925740). This variant has also been identified in 7/282240 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpSep 17, 2023This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of long QT syndrome (Invitae). This variant is present in population databases (rs374912424, gnomAD 0.01%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 148 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Arg148Gln). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 567306). 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. 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. -
Long QT syndrome 2 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingMolecular Genetics, Royal Melbourne HospitalSep 04, 2023This sequence change in KCHN2 is predicted to replace arginine with glutamine at codon 148, p.(Arg148Gln). The arginine residue is moderately conserved (100 vertebrates, UCSC), and is located in a cytoplasmic region. There is a small physicochemical difference between arginine and glutamine. The highest population minor allele frequency in the population database gnomAD v3.1 is 0.017% (7/41,436 alleles) in the African/African American population. To our knowledge, this variant has not been previously reported in the relevant scientific literature but has been reported in an individual with long QT syndrome by Invitae (ClinVar ID: 567306). Computational evidence is uninformative for the missense substitution (REVEL = 0.427). Based on the classification scheme RMH Modified ACMG Guidelines v1.6.1, this variant is classified as a VARIANT OF UNCERTAIN SIGNIFICANCE. Following criteria are met: none. -

KCNH2-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesAug 30, 2024The KCNH2 c.443G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg148Gln. This variant has been reported in an individual with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (Supplementary file 1, Ozawa et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29925740). This variant is reported in 0.011% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
Cardiac arrhythmia Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthFeb 23, 2023This missense variant replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 148 of the KCNH2 protein. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses are inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on the protein function.

Available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Benign:1
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsDec 19, 2022This alteration is classified as likely 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. -
