BACKGROUND: Pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in the KCNH2-encoded Kv11.1 potassium channel cause type 2 long QT syndrome (LQT2). Despite the updated 2015 American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) variant interpretation guidelines, the burden of KCNH2 variants of uncertain significance (VUS) in patients evaluated for long QT syndrome (LQTS) remains ∼30%. Previously, we developed and validated...
