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]

Located in an alternate transcript of the KCNH2 gene which encodes the hERG-1b isoform; Reported in ClinVar but additional evidence is not available (ClinVar Variant ID# 379235; Landrum et al., 2016); In silico analysis supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; In silico analysis, which includes splice predictors and evolutionary conservation, suggests this variant may impact gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.; Published functional studies suggest this variant may affect protein expression of the hERG-1b isoform (Sale et al., 2008), although additional studies are required to further explore its impact on channel function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 18776039, 20224422, 32231684) -

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

The c.1128+1810C>T intronic variant results from a C to T substitution 1810 nucleotides after coding exon 5 in the KCNH2 gene. This alteration has been reported (as NM_172057.2 c.23C>T p.A8V) in an individual with borderline prolonged QTc who suffered excercise-associated sudden cardiac arrest (Sale H et al. Circ. Res., 2008 Sep;103:e81-95). Functional studies suggested that this alteration may impact protein function of an alternate isoform; however, the clinical relevance of that isoform has not been clearly established (Sale H et al. Circ. Res., 2008 Sep;103:e81-95). This nucleotide position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
