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]

Long QT syndrome Uncertain:2
Feb 02, 2025
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 73 of the KCNQ1 protein (p.Pro73Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs199472676, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of KCNQ1-related conditions (PMID: 15840476, 19716085, 22949429, 24606995, 24667783, 26743238, 28588847). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53031). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt KCNQ1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Variant summary: KCNQ1 c.217C>A (p.Pro73Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00015 in 150334 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00028 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 3 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in KCNQ1 causing Long QT Syndrome phenotype (8.3e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Non-Finnish European origin. c.217C>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Long QT Syndrome (Example: Tester_2005, Kapa_2009, Kapplinger_2009, Marschall_2019, Millat_2011) etc . These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variants have been reported (KCNH2 c.87C>A, p.Phe29Leu; SCN5A c.1231G>A, p.Val411Met; KCNQ1 c.502G>A, P.Gly168Arg) (Mullertz_2018, Magnusson_2017, Riuro_2015), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Benign:1

Ambry Genetics
Significance: Likely benign
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely 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. -
