Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 1 ACMG points: 2P and 1B. PM5BP4

The NM_000218.3(KCNQ1):c.1202G>A(p.Arg401Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000013 in 1,613,902 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R401P) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthDec 15, 2023- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeSep 13, 2023In 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. This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 401 of the KCNQ1 protein (p.Arg401Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs542628042, gnomAD 0.008%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KCNQ1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 228765). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt KCNQ1 protein function. -
not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineJan 21, 2015The p.Arg401Gln variant in KCNQ1 has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss, Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) or autosomal domin ant long QT syndrome (Romano Ward syndrome), but has been identified in 1/10542 African American chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://e xac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs542628042). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathog enic role. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that the Arg401Gln variant may not impact the protein, though this information is no t predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical signific ance of the p.Arg401Gln variant is uncertain. -
