Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Moderate

The NM_000218.3(KCNQ1):​c.842A>G​(p.Tyr281Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 13/23 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Y281Y) has been classified as Likely benign.

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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 15 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 19 uncertain in NM_000218.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 212 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 12 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.8321 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.90233 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to short QT syndrome type 2, long QT syndrome 1, Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome 1, long QT syndrome, short QT syndrome, Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, familial atrial fibrillation, atrial fibrillation, familial, 3.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.992
• PP5: Variant 11-2572907-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-2572907-A-G is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 67112.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
