Description

The KCNH2 p.Gly533Ser variant was identified in 1 of 156 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0064) from a 57 year old Han Chinese woman with Brugada syndrome; the variant was also found in in 2 of 1000 control chromosomes (frequency: 0.002) from healthy Han Chinese individuals (Verker_2005_PMID:16043162). In a study of 744 apparently healthy individuals, the p.G533S variant was identified in 0.3% of African individuals but was not identified in the Caucasian, Asian or Hispanic individuals (Ackerman_2003_PMID:14661677). Another study identified the variant at a frequency of 0.002 in 265 healthy Chinese individuals (Koo_2006_PMID:16487223). The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs41314354), LOVD 3.0 and ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Invitae, Color and Biesecker Lab/Clinical Genomics Section, National Institutes of Health). The variant was identified in control databases in 74 of 281626 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0002628 (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 57 of 24918 chromosomes (freq: 0.002288), East Asian in 13 of 19928 chromosomes (freq: 0.000652), Latino in 2 of 35424 chromosomes (freq: 0.000056) and European (non-Finnish) in 2 of 128482 chromosomes (freq: 0.000016), but was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish, European (Finnish), Other or South Asian populations. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and two of four in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) predict a difference in splicing. The p.Gly533 residue is not conserved in mammals and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. Functional data suggest that the p.G533S variant may be a modifer of K+ channel function (Verker_2005_PMID:16043162). In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign.

Description

Reported in association with Brugada syndrome and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (Verkerk et al., 2005; Lopes et al., 2015); Also observed in multiple control individuals and individuals who underwent genetic testing for indications unrelated to cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia or a family history of sudden cardiac death (Ackerman et al., 2003; Verkerk et al., 2005; Koo et al., 2006; Kapa et al., 2009; Ng et al., 2013; Ghouse et al., 2016; Van Driest et al., 2016); Reported in ClinVar (ClinVar Variant ID# 67419; Landrum et al., 2016); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 32145446, 30821013, 16043162, 22949429, 26746457, 27711072, 19841300, 16487223, 14661677, 23861362, 25351510, 23414114)
