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 16 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

Identified in a patient referred for LQTS in published literature (PMID: 15840476); Functional studies demonstrate that this variant is folding-defective and results in trafficking defects and significantly reduced channel function (PMID: 30571187, 29532034); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 19862833, 17053194, 22581653, 36339618, 35442947, 29532034, 32960579, 30571187, 15840476) -

Long QT syndrome Pathogenic:1

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 115 of the KCNQ1 protein (p.Glu115Gly). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of long QT syndrome (PMID: 15840476; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53037). 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) performed at Invitae 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: 29532034, 30571187). This variant disrupts the p.Glu115 amino acid residue in KCNQ1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with KCNQ1-related conditions (Invitae), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.E115G variant (also known as c.344A>G), located in coding exon 1 of the KCNQ1 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 344. The glutamic acid at codon 115 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in a long QT syndrome (LQTS) cohort with limited clinical information (Tester DJ et al. Heart Rhythm. 2005;2:507-17). In vitro functional analysis suggests this variant results in significantly reduced channel current and a dominant negative trafficking defect (Huang H et al. Sci Adv. 2018;4:eaar2631). Internal structural analysis indicates that this variant interacts with residues of known function and is more disruptive than known pathogenic variants in the region (Ambry internal data; Berman HM et al. Acta Crystallogr. D Biol. Crystallogr. 2002;58:899-907). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
