Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points: 5P and 0B. PS4_SupportingPM2_SupportingPS3_ModeratePP3

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: NM_000218.3(KCNQ1):c.565G>A (p.Gly189Arg) is a missense variant that causes replacement of glycine with arginine at position 189. This variant is present in gnomAD v.4.1.0 at a maximum allele frequency of 0.00002228, with 1/44884 in the East Asian population, which is lower than the ClinGen Potassium Channel Arrhythmia VCEP PM2_Supporting threshold of <0.00001 (PM2_Supporting). This variant is rare and has been reported in at least 2 apparently unrelated probands affected with long QT syndrome 1 (PS4_Supporting, PMID:8528244, PMID:10220144, PMID:17470695). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.967, which is above the ClinGen Potassium Channel Arrhythmia VCEP PP3 threshold of >0.75 and predicts a damaging effect on KCNQ1 function. The computational splicing predictor SpliceAI gives a score of 0.43 for donor loss, which is lower than the ClinGen Potassium Channel Arrhythmia VCEP threshold of >0.5 and does not strongly predict that the variant disrupts the splicing of KCNQ1 (PP3). This variant has been shown to disrupt KCNQ1 function in three experimental assays, including manual patch-clamp, particularly in its impaired activation by treatment with the adenylyl cyclase / protein kinase A activator forskolin, and experimental / structural / functional simulation (PS3_Moderate; PMID:22456477, PMID:10376919, PMID:29021305). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance for long QT syndrome 1 based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Potassium Channel Arrhythmia VCEP: PS3_Moderate, PS4_Supporting, PM2_Supporting, and PP3. (VCEP specifications version 1.0.0; date of approval 03/04/2025). LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA007480/MONDO:0100316/112

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]
