Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points: 5P and 0B. PS3PP3

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: NM_000218.3(KCNQ1):c.898G>A is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of alanine by threonine at amino acid 300 (p.Ala300Thr). This variant is present in gnomAD v.4.1.0 at a maximum allele frequency of 0.0003167, with 59996/1613624 in the Admixed American population, which is higher than the ClinGen Potassium Channel Arrhythmia VCEP PM2_Supporting threshold of <0.00001, but lower than the BS1 threshold of >0.0004, so neither criterion is met. The variant is located within the pore helix consisting of amino acids 300 to 320, which is a well-characterized functional domain required for the channel function and selectivity filter of KCNQ1 (PMID:15649981), and has been confirmed to show an absence of likely benign or benign variants listed in gnomAD. However, this variant is not rare (meeting PM2_Supporting), so it cannot be considered for PM1. This variant has been reported in at least four affected probands with a diagnosis of long QT syndrome, however, available reported details are not sufficiently specific for long QT syndrome 1, so the PP4 code is not met (PMIDs: 9641694, 27251404, 28600177, 34165182). This variant has been detected in at least 1 individual with Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome who had both a long QT interval and congenital deafness. This individual was compound heterozygous for the variant and a VUS (c.1066_1071del (p.Gln356_Gln357del)) and not confirmed in trans (PMID:34165182), so the PM3 code is not met. The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.907, which is above the ClinGen Potassium Channel Arrhythmia VCEP PP3 threshold of >0.75 and predicts a damaging effect on KCNQ1 function (PP3). This variant has been shown to disrupt KCNQ1 function in two required experimental assays, including automated patch-clamp, mislocalization by immunofluorescence, and structural and functional simulation (PS3; PMIDs: 9641694, 30571187, 11087258,17999538). Please note that the variant has only been observed to cause disease in the homozygous or compound heterozygous state. 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 and PP3. (VCEP specifications version 1.0.0; date of approval 03/04/2025). LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA008554/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]
