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]

Frameshift variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26669661, 10862094, 15176425, 24015048, 24606995, 23098067, 26063740, 29622001, 32383558, 32048431, 10483966) -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr152Profs*14) in the KCNH2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in KCNH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10973849, 19862833). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with long QT syndrome (PMID: 10483966, 24015048, 29622001). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 200598). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.453delC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 3 of the KCNH2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 453, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.T152Pfs*14). This alteration has been detected in unrelated individuals from long QT syndrome cohorts, and was reported to segregate with QTc prolongation in a family (Swan H et al. J. Am. Coll. Cardiol., 1999 Sep;34:823-9; Fodstad H et al. Ann. Med., 2004;36 Suppl 1:53-63; Park JK et al. J. Korean Med. Sci., 2013 Sep;28:1388-93). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
