Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points: 2P and 5B. PM1BP6BS2

The NM_000238.4(KCNH2):c.2665T>G(p.Leu889Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000403 in 1,611,024 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. L889S) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]

not provided Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJul 23, 2018The L889V variant of uncertain significance in the KCNH2 gene has not been published as pathogenic or been reported as benign to our knowledge. This variant has been identified independently and/or in conjunction with additional cardiogenetic variants in several unrelated individuals referred for genetic testing at GeneDx. So far, segregation data is limited or absent for these individuals. The L889V variant is observed in 21/273922 (0.01%) alleles from individuals of multiple ethnic backgrounds in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). The L889V variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. In-silico analyses, including protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, support that this variant does not alter protein structure/function. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is pathogenic or rare benign. -
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedprovider interpretationStanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease, Stanford UniversityJan 18, 2017Testing for our patient was done at GeneDx. Given the lack of case data and its presence at a relatively high minor allele frequency in one subpopulation, we consider this variant a variant of uncertain significance, likely benign and we do not feel it is suitable for assessing risk in healthy relatives ("predictive genetic testing"). This variant has not been reported in the literature, to our knowledge. According to the test report: "The L889V variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues sharesimilar properties. Furthermore, in silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant isdamaging to the protein structure/function." The Leucine at codon 889 is conserved across species, as are neighboring amino acids. The variant was reported online in 20 of 124,642 individuals in the Genome Aggregation Consortium Dataset (gnomAD; http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/), which currently includes variant calls on >140,000 unrelated individuals of African, Asian, European, Ashkenazi, Latino descent. Specifically, the variant was observed in 13 of 4931 individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent (0.13% MAF), 4 of 55,513 individuals of European (non-Finnish) descent (0.0036% MAF) and 3 of 3161 individuals of "other" descent (0.0475% MAF). The phenotype of those individuals is not publicly available. The dataset is comprised of multiple cohorts, some of which were recruited from the general population, others were enriched for common cardiovascular disease. Note that other variants with strong evidence for pathogenicity have been seen at similar frequencies in datasets like this so this does not necessarily rule out pathogenicity (Pan et al 2012). -
Long QT syndrome Uncertain:1Benign:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthJan 03, 2024This missense variant replaces leucine with valine at codon 889 of the KCNH2 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with cardiovascular disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 22/279536 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The 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. -

Cardiac arrhythmia Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthDec 14, 2023This missense variant replaces leucine with valine at codon 889 of the KCNH2 protein. Computational prediction tools indicate that this variant's impact on protein structure and function is inconclusive. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with KCNH2-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 22/279536 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The 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 GeneticsFeb 05, 2020This 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. -
