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]

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 is a novel intronic change with uncertain impact on mRNA splicing. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of nucleotide changes on mRNA splicing suggest that this intronic variant may alter mRNA splicing, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This sequence change falls in intron 11 of the KCNQ1 mRNA. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the KCNQ1 protein. -
