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: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 9 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, 17 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, 0.979

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67034). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 511 of the KCNQ1 protein (p.Arg511Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs199472785, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical indication for long QT genetic testing (PMID: 19716085). 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. 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces arginine with tryptophan at codon 511 of the KCNQ1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in one individual suspected of having long QT syndrome (PMID: 19716085), in two individuals suspected of having cardiovascular, and in two individuals affected with other diseases (PMID: 31696929). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.1531C>T (p.R511W) alteration is located in exon 12 (coding exon 12) of the KCNQ1 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1531, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 511 to be replaced by a tryptophan (W). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
