Genes affected

KCNE1 (HGNC:6240): (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily E regulatory subunit 1) The product of this gene belongs to the potassium channel KCNE family. Potassium ion channels are essential to many cellular functions and show a high degree of diversity, varying in their electrophysiologic and pharmacologic properties. This gene encodes a transmembrane protein known to associate with the product of the KVLQT1 gene to form the delayed rectifier potassium channel. Mutation in this gene are associated with both Jervell and Lange-Nielsen and Romano-Ward forms of long-QT syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Variant summary: The KCNE1 c.84G>A (p.Ser28Ser) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in a synonymous change. One in silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 438/120954 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0036212, which is approximately 362 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic KCNE1 variant (0.00001), suggesting this variant is likely a benign polymorphism. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as benign and multiple publications have classified the variant as "normal/polymorphism". Taken together, this variant is classified as benign. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

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). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases allowed determination this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

This alteration is classified as 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. -
