Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points: 2P and 1B. PS4_ModerateBP5

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: NM_000218.3(KCNQ1):c.217C>A (p.Pro73Thr) is a missense variant that causes substitution of proline with threonine at amino acid 73. This variant is present in gnomAD v.4.1.0 at a maximum allele frequency of 0.0002533, with 287 alleles / 1132988 total alleles in the European non-Finnish population, which is higher than the ClinGen Potassium Channel Arrhythmia VCEP PM2_Supporting threshold of <0.00001, but lower than the BS1 threshold of >0.0004, so neither criterion is met. This variant is rare and has been reported in at least 4 apparently unrelated probands affected with long QT syndrome 1 (PS4_Moderate; PMID:15840476, PMID:19716085, PMID:22949429, PMID:24606995, PMID:20851114). The variant has been reported to segregate with long QT syndrome 1 through a proband and 1 affected family member (PMID:26743238), which is not sufficient to meet PP1. This variant has been observed in 1 patient with an alternate molecular basis for disease (NM_000335.5(SCN5A):c.1231G>A (p.Val411Met)) with a phenotype that matches long QT syndrome 3 (BP5; PMID:28588847, PMID:23098067). This variant has also been observed in 1 patient with additional variants in KCNQ1 present both in cis (NM_000218.3(KCNQ1):c.502G>A (p.Gly168Arg)) and in trans (listed as p.Asp454Thrfs*7) providing an alternate molecular basis for disease (PMID:24667783), however, BP5 is only applicable when the phenotypes match another form of LQTS. The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.566, which is below the ClinGen Potassium Channel Arrhythmia VCEP PP3 threshold of >0.75 but higher than the BP4 threshold of <0.25 and does not strongly predict a damaging effect on KCNQ1 function. The computational splicing predictor SpliceAI gives a score of 0.01 for donor gain, which is lower than the ClinGen Potassium Channel Arrhythmia VCEP PP3 threshold of >0.5 and does not strongly predict a damaging effect on KCNQ1 splicing. The Meiler Lab functional impact predictor (http://servers.meilerlab.org/servers/show?s_id=29) was unable to generate a prediction of functional impact for this variant due to a limitation of the model and the unavailability of secondary structure at this residue (PMID:29021305), so neither PS3_Supporting nor BS3_Supporting was met. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance for long QT syndrome 1 based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Potassium Channel Arrhythmia VCEP: PS4_Moderate, BP5. (VCEP specifications version 1.0.0; date of approval 03/04/2025). LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA006724/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]
