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 testingGeneDxJun 22, 2012p.His147Arg (CAC>CGC): c.440 A>G in exon 3 of the KCNH2 gene (NM_000238.2). The His147Arg variant in the KCNH2 gene has not been reported previously as a disease-causing mutation nor as a benign polymorphism, to our knowledge. His147Arg results in a conservative substitution of one positively charged amino acid for another at a residue that is not conserved across species. As a result, in silico analysis predicts His147Arg probably has a benign effect on the protein structure/function. While this information indicates His147Arg is likely benign, the NHLBI ESP Exome Variant Server reports His147Arg was not observed in approximately 5,00samples from individuals of European and African American backgrounds, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. In summary, the clinical significance of His147Arg in the KCNH2 gene is currently unknown. The variant is found in LQT panel(s). -
Long QT syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 22, 2018In 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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with KCNH2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 200285). This variant is present in population databases (rs768938134, ExAC 0.08%). This sequence change replaces histidine with arginine at codon 147 of the KCNH2 protein (p.His147Arg). The histidine residue is weakly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between histidine and arginine. -
