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]

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0103 - Dominant negative, loss of function and gain of function are known mechanisms of disease in this gene. Gain of function variants result exclusively in short QT syndrome (MIM#609621), while dominant negative and loss of function variants can cause long QT syndrome (LQTS, MIM#192500), atrial fibrillation (MIM#607554) and Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS, MIM#220400) (OMIM, PMIDs: 19632626, 28438721). (I) 0108 - This gene is known to be associated with both recessive and dominant disease. JLNS is characterized by congenital, bilateral deafness and variable degrees of QT prolongation, and is the only condition caused by biallelic variants (PMID: 28438721). (I) 0112 - The condition associated with this gene has incomplete penetrance (OMIM, PMID: 20301308). (I) 0201 - Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein (premature termination codon is located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0302 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v3) <0.001 for a dominant condition (2 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0701 - Other NMD-predicted variants comparable to the one identified in this case have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity. Multiple NMD-predicted variants have been reported as pathogenic or likely pathogenic in individuals with LQTS (ClinVar). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with LQTS (PMID: 19716085, 16414944, 23631430, VCGS). (SP) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual.

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu266Cysfs*23) 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 (rs397508125, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with long QT syndrome or referred for long QT syndrome testing (PMID: 16414944, 19716085). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53107). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.796delC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 6 of the KCNQ1 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 796, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.L266Cfs*23). This alteration has been detected in individuals referred for long QT syndrome genetic testing (Napolitano C et al. JAMA, 2005 Dec;294:2975-80; Lieve KV et al. Genet Test Mol Biomarkers, 2013 Jul;17:553-61). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -
