Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000543816 SCV000627455 uncertain significance Long QT syndrome 2017-03-18 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant identified in the KCNH2 gene is located in the cytoplasmic N-terminal region of the resulting protein (PMID: 19841300, 25348405). For more information about the location of this variant, please visit www.invitae.com/KCNH2-topology. It is unclear how this variant impacts the function of this protein. In summary, this variant is a novel missense change that is not predicted to affect protein function. There is no indication that it causes disease, but the available evidence is currently insufficient to prove that conclusively. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies. 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 alanine with serine at codon 79 of the KCNH2 protein (p.Ala79Ser). The alanine residue is weakly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between alanine and serine.
