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]

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method: clinical testing

The KCNQ1 c.296C>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro99Arg. This variant was reported in at least one patient with sudden unexplained death (Wang et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24631775; Table S3, Lin et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 29247119). This variant is reported in 0.014% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 99 of the KCNQ1 protein (p.Pro99Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs370435862, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with sudden unexplained death (PMID: 24631775). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 200877). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on KCNQ1 protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.P99R variant (also known as c.296C>G), located in coding exon 1 of the KCNQ1 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 296. The proline at codon 99 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in a sudden unexplained death cohort (Wang D et al. Forensic Sci. Int., 2014 Apr;237:90-9). This missense alteration is located in a region that has a low rate of benign missense variation (Lek M et al. Nature. 2016 Aug 18;536(7616):285-91; DECIPHER: Database of Chromosomal Imbalance and Phenotype in Humans using Ensembl Resources. Firth H.V. et al. 2009. Am.J.Hum.Genet. 84, 524-533 (DOI: dx.doi.org/10/1016/j.ajhg.2009.03.010)). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
