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]

Frameshift variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 16414944, 15840476, 19862833, 32695588, 36861347, 21063070) -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1035Glyfs*22) in the KCNH2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in KCNH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10973849, 19862833). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with long QT syndrome (PMID: 15840476, 21063070). This variant is also known as P1034fs/21*. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 200701). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.3103delC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 13 of the KCNH2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 3103, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.R1035Gfs*22). This variant (also referred to as del 3103 P1034fs/21*) was reported in individual(s) with features consistent with long QT syndrome (Tester DJ et al. Heart Rhythm, 2005 May;2:507-17; Otsuki S et al. Heart Rhythm Case Rep, 2020 Jul;6:407-410; Ambry internal data). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
