Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000468867 SCV000543434 uncertain significance Long QT syndrome 2017-04-12 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a KCNH2-related disease. This sequence change replaces glutamic acid with aspartic acid at codon 36 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Glu36Asp). The glutamic acid residue is weakly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between glutamic acid and aspartic acid. It also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 1 in an isoform of  KCNH2 encoded by an alternate transcript (NM_172057.2). Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are relatively common causes of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of nucleotide changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may alter RNA splicing, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. In summary, this is a novel intronic change with uncertain impact on splicing and protein function. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
