Long QT syndrome Pathogenic:2
The c.566G>A (p.Gly189Glu) variant in the KCNQ1 gene replaces glycine with glutamine at codon 189. This variant has been reported in individuals with long QT syndrome (PMID: 21185501, 21350584, 19490272, 19841300, 17470695, 22949429, 26318259). Experimental studies have shown that this variant has a negative impact on normal protein function (PMID 30571187). Computational models predict a pathogenic impact of this variant on the translated protein (REVEL score: 0.94). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (ID: 53068). Another variant affecting the same amino acid, p.Gly189Arg has been reported to be likely pathogenic/pathogenic in ClinVar (ID: 3114). This variant is absent in the general population database, gnomAD. Therefore, the c.566G>A (p.Gly189Glu) variant in the KCNQ1 gene is classified as likely pathogenic. -
This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 189 of the KCNQ1 protein (p.Gly189Glu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Long QT syndrome (PMID: 17470695, 22949429, 31737537). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53068). 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 expected to disrupt KCNQ1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNQ1 function (PMID: 22456477, 30571187). This variant disrupts the p.Gly189 amino acid residue in KCNQ1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8528244, 10376919, 22373669, 22456477). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
Cardiac arrhythmia Pathogenic:1
This missense variant replaces glycine with glutamic acid at codon 189 of the KCNQ1 protein. This variant is found within the highly conserved cytoplasmic linker region (a.a. 169-196). A functional study has shown that this variant causes reduced whole-cell current in CHO cells (PMID: 30571187). This variant has been reported in at least four unrelated individuals affected long QT syndrome (PMID: 17470695, 19841300, 21185501, 21350584, 22456477, 22949429, 26318259, 32893267). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different missense variant occurring at the same codon, p.Gly189Arg, is known to be pathogenic (ClinVar variation ID 3114), indicating that glycine at this position is important for KCNQ1 protein function. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
The c.566G>A (p.G189E) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 3) of the KCNQ1 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 566, causing the glycine (G) at amino acid position 189 to be replaced by a glutamic acid (E). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Congenital long QT syndrome Other:1
This variant has been reported as associated with Long QT syndrome in the following publications (PMID:17470695;PMID:19841300). This is a literature report, and does not necessarily reflect the clinical interpretation of the Imperial College / Royal Brompton Cardiovascular Genetics laboratory. -
