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]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Pro61Thr variant in KCNQ1 has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss or long QT syndrome and was absent from large population studi es. Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the p. Pro61Thr variant may not impact the protein, though this information is not pred ictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance o f the p.Pro61Thr variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2, BP4. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis, which includes splice predictors and evolutionary conservation, suggests this variant may impact gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 61 of the KCNQ1 protein (p.Pro61Thr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of KCNQ1-related conditions (PMID: 34505893). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 517627). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on KCNQ1 protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.P61T variant (also known as c.181C>A), located in coding exon 1 of the KCNQ1 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 181. The proline at codon 61 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been reported in association with long QT syndrome (Walsh R et al. Genet Med, 2021 Jan;23:47-58; Schwartz PJ et al. Eur Heart J, 2021 Dec;42:4743-4755). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
