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]

Loss-of-function variants in KCNH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19862833). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser1021Alafs*36) in the KCNH2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been reported in one individual with long QT syndrome (PMID: 23631430). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 219597). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
