The NM_000218.3(KCNQ1):c.1179G>T(p.Lys393Asn) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000779 in 1,613,974 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 4 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as Likely benignin ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. K393M) has been classified 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]

Long QT syndrome 1 Benign:2

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Apr 27, 2017	This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

not specified Benign:2

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Jul 20, 2017	p.Lys393Asn in exon 9 of KCNQ1: This variant is not expected to have clinical si gnificance because it has been reported in the literature in both control and cl inical cohorts (Ackerman 2003, Moss 2007, Guidicessi 2012, Crotti 2013). In addi tion, this variant has been identified in 0.3% (27/10152) of Ashkenazi Jewish ch romosomes and 0.2% (52/30782) of South Asian chromosomes including 1 homozygote by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; db SNP rs12720457). Studies have shown that the p.Lys393Asn variant does not impact protein function (Shamgar 2006). Furthermore, the lysine (Lys) at amino acid po sition 393 is not conserved across species, including mammals. Of note, cat has an asparagine (Asn) at this position despite high nearby amino acid conservation . Additional computational analyses do not suggest a high likelihood of impact t o the protein. In summary, this variant is classified as likely benign based on the available data. -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Oct 16, 2017	Variant summary: The KCNQ1 c.1179G>T (p.Lys393Asn) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. 3/4 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant (SNPsandGO not captured due to low reliability index). This variant was found in 292/277174 control chromosomes, including 1 homozygous individual, predominantly observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish subpopulation at a frequency of 0.00266 (27/10152). This frequency is about 27 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic KCNQ1 variant (0.0001), suggesting this is likely a benign polymorphism found primarily in the populations of Ashkenazi Jewish origin. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as likely benign. Taken together, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
