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]

p.Ala188Val (GCG>GTG): c.563 C>T in exon 4 of the KCNH2 (aka HERG) gene (NM_000238.2). The Ala188Val variant in the KCNH2 gene has not been reported as a disease-causing mutation or as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. Ala188Val results in a conservative amino acid substitution of one non-polar amino acid with another at a position that is not well conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts Ala188Val is benign to the protein structure/function. Nevertheless, the Ala188Val variant was not observed in approximately 3,000 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Also, a mutation in a nearby codon (Arg176Trp) has been reported in association with LQTS, supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. With the clinical and molecular information available at this time, we cannot definitively determine if Ala188Val is a disease-causing mutation or a rare benign variant. The variant is found in LQT panel(s). -

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 200293). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available". The valine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KCNH2-related conditions. This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 188 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Ala188Val). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). -

The p.A188V variant (also known as c.563C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the KCNH2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 563. The alanine at codon 188 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in an arrhythmia genetic testing cohort; however, clinical details were limited (Van Driest SL et al. JAMA, 2016 Jan;315:47-57). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
