Description
The p.Gly657Ser variant in KCNH2 has been previously reported in 1 individual referred for long QT syndrome (LQTS) genetic testing, and it has also been observed in 3 individuals with a reported diagnosis of LQTS by a clinical testing laboratory (Kapplinger 2009, personal communication ClinVar SCV000261846.3). It was absent from large population studies. In vitro functional studies have demonstrated an impact to normal KCNH2 potassium channel function, including when the variant is co-expressed with wild-type (Perry 2016, Hardman 2007). This variant is located in the transmembrane spanning S5/pore region of the KCNH2 protein, which has been deemed important for proper channel function (Kapa 2009 PMID: 19841300).Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest an impact to the protein. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant LQTS. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PM2_Supporting, PP3, PM1, PS3_Supporting, PS4_Supporting.
