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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 471 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 11-2445192-A-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-2445192-A-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 523769.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The K32X variant in the KCNQ1 gene has been reported previously in an individual with long QT syndrome (Chae et al., 2017). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The K32X variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). We interpret K32X as a pathogenic variant. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in KCNQ1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9323054, 19862833). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with KCNQ1-related disease. While this variant is not present in population databases, the frequency information is unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the ExAC database. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys32*) in the KCNQ1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
