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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 21, 2024	This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 179 of the KCNQ1 protein (p.Gly179Ser). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with long QT syndrome (LQTS) (PMID: 10973849, 15051636, 23392653, 27041150, 27831900, 28944242). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53063). 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: 15051636, 29532034). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health	Nov 16, 2023	The c.535G>A (p.Gly179Ser) variant in the KCNQ1 gene has been identified in heterozygous status in at least eight individuals affected with Long QT syndrome (LQTS) (PMID:10973849, 25845942, 27831900, 28438721, 19716085, 26318259, 26669661). This variant has also been reported in bi-allelic status in several (thirteen) families affected with Long QT syndrome (PMID: 27485560, 27041150,15051636, 28944242, 28438721, 28606196, 29684900, 23392653, 29033053), and found to segregate with disease in at least three families (PMID: 28944242, 28438721, 15051636). Homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals typically display more pronounced prolongation of the QT interval compared with heterozygous relatives who are often clinically asymptomatic or with modestly prolonged QT interval, suggesting incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity for the autosomal dominant form of LQTS associated with this variant. In vitro functional studies on HEK293 cells and X. laevis oocytes have shown that this variant exerts dominant negative effect on wild type protein and reduce cell surface expression, trafficking defects and severely low channel current (PMID: 29532034, 15051636). In-silico computational prediction tools suggest that the p.Gly179Ser variant may have deleterious effect on the protein function (REVEL score: 0.931). This variant is found to be absent in the general population database (gnomAD) and interpreted as pathogenic by several submitters in the ClinVar database (ClinVar ID: 53063). Other missense substitutions affecting the same codon (p.Gly179Ala, p.Gly179Arg) have been interpreted as likely pathogenic by two ClinVar submitters (ClinVar ID: 2446426, 378906). Therefore, the c.535G>A (p.Gly179Ser) variant in the KCNQ1 gene is classified as pathogenic. -

This is a literature report, and does not necessarily reflect the clinical interpretation of the Imperial College / Royal Brompton Cardiovascular Genetics laboratory. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Mar 15, 2019	The p.Gly179Ser variant in KCNQ1 has been reported in the heterozygous state in at least 3 individuals with autosomal dominant long QT syndrome (LQTS), one of whom had a more severe phenotype and carried a presumed pathogenic variant in another LQTS gene (Splawski 2000, Kapplinger 2009, Fernandes 2015, Natarajan 2016). It has also been reported in the homozygous or compound heterozygous state in 4 individuals with severe autosomal recessive LQTS (AR-LQTS) and segregated with AR-LQTS in 3 affected relatives from 2 families (Westenskow 2004, Giudicessi 2013, Vyas 2016, Bdier 2017). Individuals with AR-LQTS typically had a more severe phenotype with an earlier age of onset than heterozygotes, but none were reported to have hearing loss. Relatives of these individuals who were heterozygous carriers of this variant were often clinically asymptomatic or had modestly prolonged QT interval; however 1 heterozygous carrier experienced sudden cardiac death (Westenskow 2004, Giudicessi 2013, Bdier 2017), suggesting reduced penetrance and variable expressivity for the autosomal dominant form of LQTS associated with this variant. In vitro functional studies and computational prediction tools support an impact on protein function (Westenskow 2004, Huang 2018). This variant has been reported by other clinical laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID 53063) and was absent from large population studies. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive LQTS.

The KCNQ1 c.535G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly179Ser. This variant has been reported in the heterozygous, compound heterozygous, and homozygous states in individuals and families with long QT syndrome, although heterozygous carriers have been described as asymptomatic (see, for example, Splawski et al. 2000. PubMed ID: 10973849; Westenskow et al. 2004. PubMed ID: 15051636; Al-Hassnan et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28438721; Table S1, Westphal et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32383558; Table S1, Schwartz et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 34505893). In vitro functional studies suggest this variant impacts protein function (Westenskow et al. 2004. PubMed ID: 15051636; Huang et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29532034). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating it is rare. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

The p.G179S pathogenic mutation (also known as c.535G>A), located in coding exon 3 of the KCNQ1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 535. The glycine at codon 179 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been detected in the heterozygous, homozygous, and compound heterozygous state in numerous unrelated individuals with longQT syndrome (LQTS) (Splawski I, Circulation 2000 Sep; 102(10):1178-85; Kapplinger JD, Heart Rhythm 2009 Sep; 6(9):1297-303; Anderson HN, Pediatr Cardiol 2015 Oct; 36(7):1350-6; Fernandes M et al. Rev Port Cardiol, 2015 May;34:359.e1-5; Natarajan P et al. Sci Transl Med, 2016 11;8:364ra151; Al-Hassnan ZN et al. Heart Rhythm, 2017 08;14:1191-1199). The alteration has been reported to segregate with disease in multiple families, with homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals typically displaying more pronounced prolongation of the QT interval compared with heterozyous relatives (Westenskow P et al. Circulation, 2004 Apr;109:1834-41; Giudicessi JR et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet, 2013 Apr;6:193-200; Vyas B et al. Am. J. Med. Genet. A, 2016 06;170:1510-9; Bdier AY et al. Mol Genet Genomic Med, 2017 Sep;5:592-601). Several functional studies indicate that this alteration results in a trafficking defect and reduced potassium current in heterologous expression systems (Westenskow P et al. Circulation, 2004 Apr;109:1834-41; Huang H et al. Sci Adv, 2018 03;4:eaar2631). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

This missense variant replaces glycine with serine at codon 179 in the cytoplasmic linker region between transmembrane domains S2 and S3 of the KCNQ1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies have shown that this variant causes protein trafficking defect and results in significantly reduced cell surface expression and channel current (PMID: 15051636, 29532034), as well as dominant negative effect on the wild type protein (PMID: 29532034). This variant has been reported in over ten heterozygous and biallelic individuals affected with long QT syndrome (PMID: 10973849, 15051636, 23392653, 25845942, 27041150, 27831900, 28606196, 28438721, 28944242, 29684900; Color data). Biallelic individuals showed severe long QT syndrome without hearing loss (PMID: 23392653, 27041150, 28944242, 29684900). This variant has been shown to cosegregate with long QT phenotype in multiple families (PMID: 15051636, 23392653, 28438721; Color data). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
