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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a binding_site (size 100) in uniprot entity KCNH2_HUMAN there are 17 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_000238.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.943

Long QT syndrome Uncertain:1

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 789 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Ile789Thr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with long QT syndrome (LQTS) (PMID: 23174487). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 200431). 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 disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNH2 function (PMID: 26958806). 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. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.I789T variant (also known as c.2366T>C), located in coding exon 9 of the KCNH2 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 2366. The isoleucine at codon 789 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties, and is located in the cyclic nucleotide binding domain. This alteration was detected in a long QT syndrome (LQTS) cohort; however, some of the patients harbored multiple LQTS alterations, and clinical data was not provided (Mullally J et al. Heart Rhythm. 2013;10:378-82). One functional study demonstrated that I789T results in a trafficking defect in transfected HEK293 cells, but these types of studies do not always accurately reflect the impact on biological function in vivo (Perry MD et al. J. Physiol. (Lond.), 2016 07;594:4031-49). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
