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]

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 526 of the KCNQ1 protein (p.Lys526Glu). This variant is present in population databases (rs199472792, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of long QT syndrome (PMID: 15840476). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52995). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt KCNQ1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNQ1 function (PMID: 28096388). 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. -

Victorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research Institute

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0103 - Dominant negative, loss of function and gain of function are known mechanisms of disease in this gene. Gain of function variants result exclusively in short QT syndrome (MIM#609621), while dominant negative and loss of function variants can cause long QT syndrome (LQTS, MIM#192500), atrial fibrillation (MIM#607554) and Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS, MIM#220400) (OMIM, PMIDs: 19632626, 28438721). (I) 0108 - This gene is known to be associated with both recessive and dominant disease. JLNS is characterized by congenital, bilateral deafness and variable degrees of QT prolongation, and is the only condition caused by biallelic variants (PMID: 28438721). (I) 0112 - The condition associated with this gene has incomplete penetrance (OMIM, PMID: 20301308). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from lysine to glutamic acid. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0302 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2) <0.001 for a dominant condition (2 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0309 - An alternative amino acid change at the same position has been observed in gnomAD (v2) (4 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (I) 0502 - Missense variant with conflicting in silico predictions and uninformative conservation. (I) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated helix B within the KCNQ voltage-gated potassium channel (DECIPHER, PMID: 28096388). (I) 0710 - Another missense variant comparable to the one identified in this case has inconclusive previous evidence for pathogenicity. This alternative change (p.(Lys526Gln)) has been reported as a VUS (ClinVar). Another missense variant at the same residue but with a stronger Grantham change (p.(Lys526Asn)) has also been reported as a VUS (ClinVar). (I) 0809 - Previous evidence of pathogenicity for this variant is inconclusive. This variant has been reported multiple times as a VUS, and observed in at least five unrelated individuals with LQTS or an inherited arrhythmia (ClinVar personal communication, PMID: 15840476, PMID: 31535183). (I) 0906 - Segregation evidence for this variant is inconclusive. This variant has segregated within two individuals, however more meioses are required to establish the significance (ClinVar). (I) 1002 - This variant has moderate functional evidence supporting abnormal protein function. Functional analysis on transfected CHO cells demonstrates that this variant severely damages channel function with right shifts in voltage dependence of activation, reduced current density and insensitivity to Ca2+-calmodulin gating (PMID: 28096388). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Reported in a patient referred for LQTS genetic testing (PMID: 15840476); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Published functional studies suggest K526E may affect potassium channel gating and cause a reduction in current density (PMID: 28976808); In silico analysis indicates that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22378279, 25637381, 28096388, 31535183, 15840476, 28976808) -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.1576A>G (p.K526E) alteration is located in exon 12 (coding exon 12) of the KCNQ1 gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 1576, causing the lysine (K) at amino acid position 526 to be replaced by a glutamic acid (E). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
