Variant chr11-2528004-ACT-A details in Genebe, Genetics Data Aggregator

Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000218.3(KCNQ1):c.468_469del(p.Phe157LeufsTer127) variant causes a frameshift change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. T155T) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]

Although the c.468_469delCT likely pathogenic variant in the KCNQ1 gene has not been reported to our knowledge, this variant causes a shift in reading frame starting at codon Phenylalanine 157, changing it to a Leucine, and creating a premature stop codon at position 127 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Phe157LeufsX127. This likely pathogenic variant is expected to result in either an abnormal, truncated protein product or loss of protein from this allele through nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Other frameshift variants in the KCNQ1 gene have been reported in HGMD in association with LQTS (Stenson et al., 2014). Furthermore, the c.468_469delCT variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations.In summary, c.468_469delCT in the KCNQ1 gene is expected to be pathogenic, as loss of function variants in this gene are strongly associated with this phenotype. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Phe157Leufs*127) in the KCNQ1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in KCNQ1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9323054, 19862833). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KCNQ1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 421737). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
