Description

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 887 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Arg887His). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of KCNH2-related conditions (PMID: 15840476, 26743238). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67423). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNH2 function (PMID: 22653970). In 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.

Description

This missense variant replaces arginine with histidine at codon 887 of the KCNH2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). An experimental study has shown that this variant may inhibit PKC-dependent phosphorylation and ultimately inhibit cell surface expression and function of the potassium channel (PMID: 22653970). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with arrhythmia (PMID 26743238) and in an individual referred for long QT genetic testing (PMID: 15840476). This variant has been identified in 2/248800 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
