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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJan 07, 2019The Ala9Val variant in the KCNH2 gene has not been reported as a disease-causing mutation or as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. Ala9Val results in a conservative amino acid substitution of one non-polar amino acid with another at a position that is conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts Ala9Val is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Mutations in nearby codons (Met1Leu, Asp16Ala) have been reported in association with LQTS, supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. The NHLBI ESP Exome Variant Server reports Ala9Val was not observed in approximately 6,000 samples from individuals of European and African American backgrounds, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations.With the clinical and molecular information available at this time, we cannot definitively determine if Ala9Val is a disease-causing mutation or a rare benign variant. -
Long QT syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthNov 30, 2023This missense variant replaces alanine with valine at codon 9 of the KCNH2 protein. Computational prediction tool suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >=0.7, PMID: 27666373). Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. 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 5/268000 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 14, 2023This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 9 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Ala9Val). 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 variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KCNH2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 200592). 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. 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. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMay 02, 2022The p.A9V variant (also known as c.26C>T), located in coding exon 1 of the KCNH2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 26. The alanine at codon 9 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was reported in a group of subjects who had medical record review based on prescribed medications with relevant pharmacogenomic interactions (Van Driest SL et al. JAMA, 2016 Jan;315:47-57). This alteration has also been reported in a long QT syndrome (LQTS) cohort (Walsh R et al. Genet Med, 2021 01;23:47-58). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
