Likely pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided | provider interpretation | Stanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease, Stanford University | Sep 22, 2016 | Testing was performed by GeneDx. We’ve seen this variant in adult in our center with likely long QT syndrome Given the type of variation, the rarity, and the case data we consider this variant likely pathogenic and we do feel it is suitable for assessing risk in healthy relatives ("predictive genetic testing"). There are multiple nonsense and frameshift mutations resulting in premature stop codons listed as pathogenic in HGMD and in the NYU/IRCCS Fondazione Salvatore Maugeri Inherited Arrhythmias Database. Of note, ExAC data suggests KCNQ1 is not tolerant to loss of function variation. Fewer variants of that type are observed in the ExAC data than expected. In Familion's case series, 15% of 199 KCNQ1 variants identified on long QT testing were loss of function (Kapplinger et al 2009). Priori's original series had similar rates (Napolitano et al 2005). We have seen multiple loss of function variants in KCNQ1 that we feel are pathogenic. The variant was reported online in 4 of 59916 individuals in the Exome Aggregation Consortium dataset (http://exac.broadinstitute.org/), which currently includes variant calls on ~64,000 individuals of European, African, Latino and Asian descent (as of Sep 22nd, 2016). Specifically, the variant was observed in 4 of 32851 Europeans. The phenotype of those individuals is not publicly available. The dataset is comprised of multiple cohorts, some of which were recruited from the general population, others were enriched for common cardiovascular disease. Of note, given the observed Norwegian founder effect the allele frequency in a European sample is not necessarily concerning, since Norwegians may well be included in that sample. - |
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories | Jan 17, 2023 | The KCNQ1 c.573_577delGCGCT; p.Arg192CysfsTer91 variant (rs397508118), also known as 572del5, 735-739delGCGCT, L191fs/90, or L191fs +90X, is reported in the literature in the homozygous or compound heterozygous state in several individuals and families affected with Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome or in the heterozygous state in individuals with long QT syndrome (Ackerman 1999, Anderson 2015, Giudicessi 2013, Huang 2001), and is a founder variant in the Norwegian population (Tranebjaerg 1999). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 53072), but is only observed on four alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant causes a frameshift by deleting 5 nucleotides, so it is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. In vitro functional analyses demonstrate reduced current and a mild dominant negative effect (Huang 2001). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic.

Long QT syndrome 1 Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine, Rady Children's Hospital San Diego | Nov 30, 2017 | This frameshifting variant is predicted to lead to early termination of the KCNQ1 protein. There are multiple reports of the variant by clinical laboratories as pathogenic in ClinVar (Variation ID 53072) and in the literature (PMID: 24666684, 11530100, 10560595). Truncating variants in KCNQ1 are established as disease causing, and the variant is predicted by in silico methods to be damaging. Functional characterization of the variant indicated electrophysiological consequences on channel functioning (PMID: 11530100). It is seen in 2 heterozygotes in gnomAD, thus the variant is rare. Based on the combined evidence, the variant is classified as pathogenic. - |

Long QT syndrome Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Invitae | Dec 04, 2023 | This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg192Cysfs*91) in the KCNQ1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in KCNQ1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9323054, 19862833). This variant is present in population databases (rs764567762, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with long QT syndrome (PMID: 10560595, 11530100, 22539601, 23392653, 24666684). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53072). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. - |
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health | Dec 07, 2023 | This variant (also known as 572del5 and c.572_576del in published literature due to the use of alternate nomenclature) deletes 5 nucleotides in exon 3 of the KCNQ1 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. A functional study has shown that this variant does not produce any significant potassium current and has a mild dominant negative effect when co-expressed with wild-type KCNQ1 channels in Xenopus laevis oocytes (PMID: 11530100). This variant has been reported in homozygous or compound heterozygous states in many individuals affected with Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome from 15 different families of Norwegian or Swedish ancestry, and in heterozygous state in 3 relatives affected with long QT syndrome and in 29 asymptomatic relatives from these families (PMID: 10704188, 22539601, 25471708, 27451284, 30406014). This variant has also been reported in another 8 unrelated individuals affected with long QT syndrome (PMID: 24666684, 30369311, 31246743, 31520628, 32893267). This variant has been identified in 4/249462 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of KCNQ1 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. - |

Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | Jan 17, 2023 | The c.573_577delGCGCT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 3 of the KCNQ1 gene, results from a deletion of 5 nucleotides at positions 573 to 577, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.R192Cfs*91). This alteration has been described in several homozygous and compound heterozygous families with autosomal recessive Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome, and haplotype analysis has suggested a founder mutation effect in Norway (Tranebjaerg L et al. Am J Med Genet. 1999;89:137-46). Among these families, this alteration also was detected in the heterozygous state in multiple unaffected relatives; however, in other studies, this alteration was reported in heterozygous individuals with autosomal dominant long QT syndrome (LQTS) (Ackerman MJ et al. Mayo Clin Proc.1999;74:1088-94; Anderson HN et al. Cardiol Young. 2015;25:376-9), suggesting co-segregation with incomplete penetrance. In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. - |
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp | May 17, 2016 | Variant summary: The KCNQ1 c.573_577delGCGCT (p.Arg192Cysfs) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent KCNQ1 protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. This variant was found in 4/120312 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000332, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic KCNQ1 variant (0.0000833). The variant is recurrently reported in patients with JLNS in homozygous as well as heterozygous state. The variant is also reported in heterozygous state in LQTS patients or in individuals suspected of LQTS diagnosis, in individuals with normal or borderline QTS prolongation, atrial fibrillation and sudden unexplained death, suggesting that clinical features associated with a heterozygous c.573_577delGCGCT variant are variable. Functional data are consistent with disease-causing role of this variant. It has also been reported as a probable founder/common mutation in Norway and Sweden causing JLNS. One clinical labs in ClinVar as well as reputable databases have classified it as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. - |
Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome 1;C4551647:Long QT syndrome 1 Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Human Genome Sequencing Center Clinical Lab, Baylor College of Medicine | Oct 08, 2018 | The c.573_577delGCGCT (p. Arg192Cysfs*91) variant in the KCNQ1 gene was predicted to produce a truncated protein. It has been observed in multiple individuals with long QT syndrome and was segregated in a Norwegian family with Long QT syndrome (PMID: 10704188, 11530100, 23392653). This variant is extremely rare in the general population according to gnomAD database. Therefore, this c.573_577delGCGCT (p. Arg192Cysfs*91) variant in the KCNQ1 gene is classified as pathogenic. - |
Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome;C1141890:Congenital long QT syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine | Jun 28, 2017 | The p.Arg192CysfsX91 variant is reported to be a Scandinavian founder variant in KCNQ1 and has been identified in the homozygous or compound heterozygous state in at least 10 individuals from 9 families with Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndro me (JLNS). Most of the older relatives who were heterozygous carriers of this va riant were asymptomatic with normal QT intervals, while at least 3 had clinical features of long QT syndrome (LQTS; Tranebjareg 1999, Winbo 2012), indicating re duced penetrance. This variant has also been identified in at least 4 unrelated individuals with LQTS (Ackerman 1999, Lieve 2013, Anderson 2015) and has been re ported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 53072). In vitro functional studies provide som e evidence that the p.Arg192CysfsX91 variant may slightly impact protein functio n (Huang 2001). Additionally, this variant has been identified in 4/113014 of Eu ropean chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein?s amino acid sequence beginning at position 192 and leads to a premature termination codon 91 amino a cids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or abs ent protein. Loss-of-function variants in KCNQ1 are associated with LQTS (also k nown as Romano-Ward syndrome) in the heterozygous state and with JLNS in the com pound heterozygous or homozygous state. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for LQTS in an autosomal dominant manner with red uced penetrance and JLNS in an autosomal recessive manner.

KCNQ1-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine, Rady Children's Hospital San Diego | - | This frameshifting variant in exon 3 of 16 introduces a premature stop codon and is therefore predicted to result in loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). This variant has been previously reported as a heterozygous change in multiple individuals with long QT syndrome (PMID: 10560595, 22539601, 24666684, 11530100, 23392653). Functional studies showed the c.573_577del (p.Arg192CysfsTer91) variant causes a dominant-negative effect on KCNQ1 function (PMID: 11530100). The c.573_577del (p.Arg192CysfsTer91) variant is present in the heterozygous state in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.002% (4/249462) and thus is presumed to be rare. Based on the available evidence, the c.573_577del (p.Arg192CysfsTer91) variant is classified as Pathogenic. - |

This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in homozygous or compound heterozygous states in many individuals affected with Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome from 15 different families of Norwegian or Swedish ancestry, and in heterozygous state in 3 relatives affected with long QT syndrome and in 29 asymptomatic relatives from these families (PMID: 10704188, 22539601, 25471708, 27451284, 30406014). This variant has also been reported in another 8 unrelated individuals affected with long QT syndrome (PMID: 24666684, 30369311, 31246743, 31520628, 32893267). This variant has been identified in 4/249462 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of KCNQ1 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. - |
