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

not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxOct 31, 2019Identified in the published literature in a patient with AV node disease and in an infant that died suddenly while at rest (Van Driest et al., 2016; Campuzano et al., 2018); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; Reported in ClinVar as a variant of uncertain significance by another clinical laboratory (ClinVar Variant ID# 405352; Landrum et al., 2016); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26746457, 30086531) -
Long QT syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 06, 2023This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 119 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Asp119His). This variant is present in population databases (rs376308069, gnomAD 0.05%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with atrioventricular (AV) node disease (PMID: 26746457). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405352). 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 disruptive. 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. -
Short QT syndrome type 1;C3150943:Long QT syndrome 2 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingCenter for Genomics, Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of ChicagoMar 30, 2021KCNH2 NM_000238.3 exon 3 p.Asp119His (c.355G>C): This variant has been reported in the literature in one individual with AV node disease (Van Driest 2016 PMID:26746457). This variant is present in 11/24022 African alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/rs376308069). This variant is present in ClinVar (Variation ID:405352). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools for this variant are unclear. In summary, data on this variant is insufficient for disease classification. Therefore, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Benign:1
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsDec 29, 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. -
