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]

KCNQ1OT1 (HGNC:6295): (KCNQ1 opposite strand/antisense transcript 1) Human chromosomal region 11p15.5 contains two clusters of epigenetically-regulated genes that are expressed from only one chromosome in a parent-of-origin manner. Each cluster, or imprinted domain, is regulated by a functionally independent imprinting control region (ICR). The human CDKN1C/KCNQ1OT1 domain is regulated by an ICR located in an intron of KCNQ1, and contains at least eight genes that are expressed exclusively or preferentially from the maternally-inherited allele. The DNA of the ICR is specifically methylated on the maternally-inherited chromosome, and unmethylated on the paternally-inherited chromosome. The ICR contains the promoter of the KCNQ1OT1 gene that is exclusively expressed from the paternal allele. The KCNQ1OT1 transcript is the antisense to the KCNQ1 gene and is a unspliced long non-coding RNA. It interacts with chromatin and regulates transcription of multiple target genes through epigenetic modifications. The transcript is abnormally expressed from both chromosomes in most patients with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, and the transcript also plays an important role in colorectal carcinogenesis.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5.1, offset of 14, new splice context is: catGTgcgt. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 11-2662082-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-2662082-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 52986.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr11-2662082-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

The c.1514+1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 11 of the KCNQ1 gene, and is located in the C-terminal domain. This alteration has been reported in a long QT syndrome (LQTS) cohort (Napolitano C et al. JAMA, 2005 Dec;294:2975-80). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation. -
