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

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 1 ACMG points.

PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.905
BS2
High AC in GnomAd4 at 5 AD,Digenic gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

Submissions by phenotype

Long QT syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthAug 23, 2023This missense variant replaces arginine with tryptophan at codon 679 of the KCNH2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with cardiovascular disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 5/31392 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeAug 15, 2022This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 679 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Arg679Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs79624542, gnomAD 0.1%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KCNH2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 581266). 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 disruptive. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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. -
