Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5

The NM_000218.3(KCNQ1):c.1135T>C(p.Trp379Arg) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. W379S) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 14 uncertain in NM_000218.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr11-2587576-T-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.984
• PP5: Variant 11-2587576-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-2587576-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 67013.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Pathogenic=2, Uncertain_significance=1, not_provided=1}. Variant chr11-2587576-T-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Submissions by phenotype

Long QT syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Nov 08, 2022	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNQ1 function (PMID: 26066609). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt KCNQ1 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67013). This missense change has been observed in individuals with long QT syndrome (PMID: 16534005, 26066609; Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 379 of the KCNQ1 protein (p.Trp379Arg). -

Reported in association with LQTS (Vyas et al., 2006; Tester et al., 2007; Steffensen et al., 2015); Reported in ClinVar (ClinVar Variant ID# 67013; Landrum et al., 2016); Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; While in vitro functional studies suggest that this variant may impact channel function (Steffensen et al., 2015), it is unclear how these studies may translate to a pathogenic role in vivo; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22581653, 31535183, 22677073, 17222736, 16534005, 26066609, 31892348) -
