Publications with functional data
We have tested the trafficking efficiency of this variant: 111% of WT with a standard error of 19%. In our analysis we used SE < 20% as 'high quality'. Approximately below 50% of WT is considered PS3 moderate and below 30% is PS3 strong.
Variant features alone are equivalent to phenotyping 3 individuals with LQT2 and 7 unaffected individuals.
In silico predictors
| PROVEAN | PolyPhen-2 | BLAST-PSSM | REVEL | Penetrance Density LQT2 (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| -5.801 | 1.0 | 0 | 0.967 | 97 |
PROVEAN scores below -2 suggest deleterious impact. REVEL scores above 0.5–0.75 are often interpreted as likely pathogenic. PolyPhen-2 scores above 0.85 are typically pathogenic. BLAST-PSSM reflects evolutionary conservation; more negative values indicate rarer substitutions. Penetrance density summarises neighbouring residue risk (Kroncke et al. 2019).

Functional data
Functional assay results from published electrophysiology studies. Steady state (S.S.) and peak tail current are relative % to wildtype (100% being no different from wildtype). V1/2 activation and inactivation are the voltages at which half of the maximal current is reached, in mV. Recovery from inactivation and deactivation time are ratios of characteristic time constants with wildtype. HM indicates homomeric channels, HT indicates heteromeric channels.

Nearby variants
Neighbouring residues within 15 Ångström provide structural context. Variants listed in the right-most column have been observed clinically or in gnomAD. Note that some residues appear multiple times at different distances since the functional KV11.1 channel (protein product of KCNH2/hERG) is a homotetramer and occasionally the same residue from multiple subunits is present within the 15Å window.
