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]

KCNQ1-AS1 (HGNC:42790): (KCNQ1 antisense RNA 1)

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 11 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 11-2847780-A-AC is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-2847780-A-AC is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 928774.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_pathogenic=1, Uncertain_significance=1, Pathogenic=1}.

Long QT syndrome Pathogenic:1

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts a region of the KCNQ1 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Arg632Glnfs*20) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 16981927, 19825999, 25187895). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 928774). This variant is also known as 1811insC (D603fs+47X). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with long QT syndrome (PMID: 19716085, 30847666). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln604Profs*48) in the KCNQ1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 73 amino acid(s) of the KCNQ1 protein. -

Cardiac arrhythmia Pathogenic:1

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: KCNQ1 c.1810dupC (p.Gln604ProfsX48) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant was absent in 185902 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1810dupC has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with Arrhythmia (Kapplinger_2009). These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. 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 likely pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

Reported in one individual from a cohort of individuals referred for LQTS genetic testing; however, specific clinical details and segregation studies were not reported (Kapplinger et al., 2009); Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); Frameshift variant predicted to result in protein truncation as the last 73 amino acids are lost and replaced with 47 incorrect amino acids; however, only a few loss-of-function variants have not been reported downstream of this position in the protein (Stenson et al., 2014); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 19716085, 30847666) -
