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]

Has been described in a 19 year-old female who died after a near-drowning incident (Ackerman et al., 1999). Although this variant was also identified in the proband's sister, mother, and maternal grandfather, who all had prolonged or borderline QTcs, the proband and her sister were subsequently found to harbor the p.(V524G) likely pathogenic variant in the KCNQ1 gene that likely contributed to the phenotype (Choi et al., 2004).; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In-frame deletion of 3 amino acids in a non-repeat region; In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 12877697, 15466642, 10511610, 29582136) -

This variant, c.211_219del, results in the deletion of 3 amino acid(s) of the KCNQ1 protein (p.Ala71_Pro73del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with long QT syndrome (PMID: 10511610). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3130). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -

The c.211_219delGCCGCGCCC variant (also known as p.A71_P73del) is located in coding exon 1 of the KCNQ1 gene. This variant results from an in-frame deletion of 9 nucleotides at positions 211 to 219. This results in the deletion of 3 amino acids between codons 71 and 73. This variant has been described in an individual from Mayo Clinic genetic testing cohorts who suffered a swimming-related sudden cardiac death with documented prolonged QTc measurements and electrolyte imbalances following the event, and who also had an additional KCNQ1 missense variant by some reports (Ackerman MJ et al. N. Engl. J. Med., 1999 Oct;341:1121-5; Nemec J et al. Pacing Clin Electrophysiol, 2003 Aug;26:1660-7; Choi G et al. Circulation, 2004 Oct;110:2119-24; Tester DJ et al. Heart Rhythm, 2005 May;2:507-17). The in-frame deletion was also detected in the individual's mother with prolonged QTc, but without characteristic T-wave findings, and in her sister with a borderline prolonged QTc; however, no information regarding testing for an additional KCNQ1 variant was provided (Ackerman MJ et al. N. Engl. J. Med., 1999 Oct;341:1121-5). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
