Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PM2_SupportingPS3PS4PP3PP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: NM_000218.3(KCNQ1):c.1032G>A is a synonymous variant (p.Ala344=) predicted to affect KCNQ1 mRNA splicing. The computational splicing predictor SpliceAI gives scores of 0.49 for donor gain and 0.38 for donor loss, which are higher than the ClinGen Potassium Channel Arrhythmia VCEP PP3 threshold of greater than or equal to 0.2 and predict that the variant disrupts KCNQ1 splicing (PP3). The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the population with a maximum allele frequency (gnomAD 4.1.0) of 0.000001701, with 2 in 1,175,668 individuals of European (non-Finnish) ancestry (PM2_Supporting). Functional studies have been performed on this variant and meet criteria with demonstrated deleterious effects on electrophysiology and RNA metabolism (PS3, PMID:29857160, 10477533, 17292394). There are 23 reported probands in the literature with a clinical diagnosis of Long QT syndrome (PS4; PMID:26118460, PMID:21810471, PMID:9654228, PMID:29497013, PMID:17292394). An additional case reports provides specific details that are highly specific for a diagnosis of Long QT syndrome in an individual with the variant who had a significantly prolonged QTc at rest and exercise-triggered events (PP4, PMID:21810471). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for long QT syndrome 1 based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Potassium Channel Arrhythmia VCEP: PS3, PS4, PM2_Supporting, PP3, and PP4. (VCEP specifications version 1.0.0; date of approval 03/04/2025). LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA005005/MONDO:0100316/112

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]
