Genes affected

KCNQ1 (HGNC:6294): (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 1) This gene encodes a voltage-gated potassium channel required for repolarization phase of the cardiac action potential. This protein can form heteromultimers with two other potassium channel proteins, KCNE1 and KCNE3. Mutations in this gene are associated with hereditary long QT syndrome 1 (also known as Romano-Ward syndrome), Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome, and familial atrial fibrillation. This gene exhibits tissue-specific imprinting, with preferential expression from the maternal allele in some tissues, and biallelic expression in others. This gene is located in a region of chromosome 11 amongst other imprinted genes that are associated with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS), and itself has been shown to be disrupted by chromosomal rearrangements in patients with BWS. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 474 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 11-2445114-TC-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-2445114-TC-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 523933.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Although the c.20delC likely pathogenic variant in the KCNQ1 gene has not been reported to our knowledge, this variant causes a shift in reading frame starting at codon proline 7, changing it to an arginine, and creating a premature stop codon at position 79 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Pro7ArgfsX79. This likely pathogenic variant is expected to result in either an abnormal, truncated protein product or loss of protein from this allele through nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Other frameshift variants in the KCNQ1 gene have been reported in Human Gene Mutation Database in association with LQTS and JLNS (Stenson et al., 2014), indicating that loss of function is a mechanism of disease for this gene. Furthermore, the c.20delC variant has not been observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). In summary, c.20delC in the KCNQ1 gene is interpreted as a likely pathogenic variant. -
