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 Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a helix (size 11) in uniprot entity KCNH2_HUMAN there are 7 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_000238.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

This sequence change replaces alanine with serine at codon 79 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Ala79Ser). The alanine residue is weakly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between alanine and serine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a KCNH2-related disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies. In summary, this variant is a novel missense change that is not predicted to affect protein function. There is no indication that it causes disease, but the available evidence is currently insufficient to prove that conclusively. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. This variant identified in the KCNH2 gene is located in the cytoplasmic N-terminal region of the resulting protein (PMID: 19841300, 25348405). For more information about the location of this variant, please visit www.invitae.com/KCNH2-topology. It is unclear how this variant impacts the function of this protein. -
