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]

Submissions by phenotype

not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMay 12, 2022Reported in association with LQTS in published literature (Marschall et al., 2019), however, patient-specific information not provided; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 16166152, 31737537) -
Long QT syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJun 05, 2023In 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. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNH2 function (PMID: 16166152). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 220162). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with long QT syndrome (PMID: 31737537; Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 528 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Arg528Trp). -
Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsDec 06, 2018The p.R528W variant (also known as c.1582C>T), located in coding exon 7 of the KCNH2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1582. The arginine at codon 528 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been previously reported in a cohort of individuals referred for long QT syndrome genetic testing, but clinical details were limited (Lieve KV et al. Genet Test Mol Biomarkers. 2013;17:553-61). In vitro functional studies in Xenopus oocytes has suggested that this variant may impact protein function; however, the physiological relevance of that impact is unclear (Subbiah RN et al. J. Physiol. (Lond.). 2005;569:367-79). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Cardiac arrhythmia Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthOct 30, 2018Variant of Uncertain Significance due to insufficient evidence: This missense variant is located in the transmembrane domain S4 of the KCNH2 protein. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may have deleterious impact on the protein function. Computational splicing tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. An experimental functional study has shown that this variant decreases the rate of deactivation and and increase the rate of activation of the potassium channel (PMID: 16166152). However, clinical significance of this finding is not clear. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals affected with cardiovascular disorders in the literature. This variant is rare in the general population and has been identified in 0/277264 chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Available evidence is insufficient to determine the pathogenicity of this variant conclusively. -
