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]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 11 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 14 uncertain in NM_000218.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM4: Nonframeshift variant in NON repetitive region in NM_000218.3. Strenght limited to Supporting due to length of the change: 1aa.

This variant identified in the KCNQ1 gene is located in the transmembrane S2 region of the resulting protein (PMID: 19841300, 25348405), but it is unclear how this variant impacts the function of this protein. This sequence change inserts 3 nucleotides in exon 3 of the KCNQ1 mRNA (c.493_495dupGTG). This leads to the insertion of 1 amino acid residue in the KCNQ1 protein (p.Val165dup) but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a KCNQ1-related disease. In summary, this variant is a novel in-frame duplication with uncertain impact on protein function. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
