Description

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 837 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Asp837Gly). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of long QT syndrome (PMID: 21440677, 25119684; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67407). 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. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNH2 function (PMID: 25417810). This variant disrupts the p.Asp837 amino acid residue in KCNH2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 19841300, 26669661). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Description

The c.2510A>G (p.Asp837Gly) variant in the KCNH2 gene is predicted to replace aspartic acid with glycine at codon 837 (p.Asp837Gly). This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with long QT syndrome (PMID: 21440677, 15851119, 25119684, 20850565, 23631430). Experimental analysis of the variant in cultured cell line proved the deficient protein trafficking and the negative functional impact (PMID: 25417810). Alternative variants disrupting the same amino acid (p.Asp837Asn, p.Asp837Tyr) have been interpreted as pathogenic/likely pathogenic (ClinVar ID: 67405, 67406). The variant is reported in ClinVar (ID: 67407). The variant is absent in the general population database (gnomAD). Computational prediction algorithms suggest a deleterious impact for this variant (REVEL score 0.959). Therefore, the c.2510A>G (p.Asp837Gly) variant of KCNH2 has been classified as likely pathogenic.
