The NM_000218.3(KCNQ1):c.797T>C (p.Leu266Pro) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.0000089 (AC=13) in the gnomAD database across 1,461,486 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.00000575. In-silico predictor (REVEL) classifies this variant as likely damaging/oncogenic. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000074144: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNQ1 function (PMID:21451124)." and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. A different missense at the same amino acid position has been reported as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic in ClinVar: p.L266Q: Likely_pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 2498480, 1 star) This exact variant is curated in the UniProt human variants database as Uncertain Significance.

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]

	PM1Mutational hot spot or critical domain		Missense neighbourhood hotspot (≥2 P/LP within ±8 AA, OR ≥ 5 vs. background) — PM1; In-domain: 0 pathogenic, 0 benign rare missense variants.; ±8 AA neighbourhood: 27 pathogenic, 1 benign (OR vs. background: 91.7).
	PM2Absent/extremely low in population databases		Very rare in gnomAD for AD/XL gene (popmax AF < threshold/10) — PM2; GnomAD popmax AF = 0.00000575 — very rare for AD+AR gene (base 0.0001, raised to 0.00022 by highest known P/LP ClinVar AF 0.00022) — PM2 moderate.
	PM5Novel missense at known pathogenic residue		Different pathogenic missense at same AA residue in ClinVar (PM5); ClinVar contains a germline Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic entry at the same amino acid position with a different amino acid change: p.L266Q: Likely_pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 2498480, 1 star)
	PP3Computational evidence supports damaging effect		Germline meta computational scorer (REVEL/MetaRNN/BayesDel) predicts damaging effect — strong evidence (PP3); Splicing verdict: not pathogenic.; Germline computational verdict: pathogenic (Strong).
	PP5Reputable source reports pathogenic		ClinVar 2-star pathogenic — strong (PP5); ClinVar submissions overwhelmingly pathogenic (≥10 total, ≥80% P/LP, <10% B/LB) — strong (PP5, count-based); ClinVar germline classification: Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic, 2 star(s). ClinVar submissions strongly and reliably favor pathogenicity (15/15 total P/LP).
