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]

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this variant affects KCNH2 function (PMID: 25417810). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 200646). This variant has been observed in individuals with long QT syndrome (PMID: 10973849, 26831020; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant, c.1913_1915del, results in the deletion of 1 amino acid(s) of the KCNH2 protein (p.Lys638del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. -

The c.1913_1915delAGA variant (also known as p.K638del) is located in coding exon 7 of the KCNH2 gene. This variant results from an in-frame deletion of 3 nucleotides at positions 1913 to 1915. This results in the deletion of a highly conserved lysine at codon 638, which is located in the pore/S6 region of the protein. This alteration has been reported in multiple subjects referred for long QT syndrome (LQTS) genetic testing and has been shown to segregate with disease in one family (Splawski I et al. Circulation, 2000 Sep;102:1178-85; Nagaoka I et al. Circ. J., 2008 May;72:694-9; Kapplinger JD et al. Heart Rhythm, 2009 Sep;6:1297-303; Ozawa J et al. Circ. J., 2016 Jan;80:696-702; Ichikawa M et al. Intern. Med., 2016 Feb;55:259-62). In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis (Choi Y et al., PLoS ONE 2012; 7(10):e46688). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
