The NM_000218.3(KCNQ1):c.805G>A (p.Gly269Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The gene KCNQ1 is a tumor suppressor gene (CancerMine: 11 TSG, 2 oncogene citations). The gene KCNQ1 is a known oncogene (CancerMine: 11 TSG, 2 oncogene citations). The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.0000198 (AC=29) in the gnomAD database across 1,461,454 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.0000653. Note: a gnomAD entry for this variant shows a statistical allele-bias signature, consistent with mosaic/somatic contamination (e.g. age-related clonal hematopoiesis) rather than true inherited population frequency — this frequency should not be read as evidence of a common, benign germline variant. In-silico predictor (REVEL) classifies this variant as likely damaging/oncogenic. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. The affected nucleotide is highly conserved across species (PhyloP 100-way vertebrate score: 9.42). Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV005399103: "This variant has moderate functional evidence supporting abnormal protein function. In vitro studies show that this variant has abnormal delayed rectifier potassium current, defects in subcellular localisation, reduced stability, and a dominant negative effect over wild type (PMID:20044973, 24184248)."" 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.G269V: Pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 200899, 1 star) This exact variant is curated in the UniProt human variants database as Pathogenic, associated with Long qt syndrome 1 (lqt1).

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]
