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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 16 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 20 uncertain in NM_000218.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr11-2570706-G-C is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 53065.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 212 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 12 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.8321 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.90233 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to short QT syndrome type 2, long QT syndrome 1, Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome 1, long QT syndrome, short QT syndrome, Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, familial atrial fibrillation, atrial fibrillation, familial, 3.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.985

Variant summary: KCNQ1 c.557G>C (p.Gly186Ala) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Ion transport domain of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 249602 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.557G>C in individuals affected with Arrhythmia and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Other variants affecting the same codon have been reported as likely pathogenic/pathogenic in ClinVar (p.Gly186Asp, p.Gly186Val). Additionally, other variants at the same codon have been reported in HGMD in association with LQTS (p.Gly186Arg, p.Gly186Ser) and in association with Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (p.Gly186Asp). No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.
