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]

Variant summary: KCNQ1 c.1726G>A (p.Val576Ile) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the KCNQ voltage-gated potassium channel domain (IPR013821) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6.4e-05 in 250990 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in KCNQ1 causing Jervell And Lange-Nielsen Syndrome (6.4e-05 vs 0.0024), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1726G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Long QT Syndrome (Berge_2008, Mullally_2013, Giudicessi_2013). These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 18752142, 32048431, 23392653, 23174487). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 200813). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

p.Val576Ile in exon 14 of KCNQ1: This variant is not expected to have clinical s ignificance due to a lack of conservation across species, including mammals. Of note, 13 mammals have an Ile at this position despite high nearby amino acid con servation. In addition, computational prediction tools do not suggest a high lik elihood of impact to the protein. It has also been identified in 5/65838 Europea n chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstit ute.org). Although this variant has been reported in 2 individuals with LQTS (1 with intact hearing who carried a second likely pathogenic variant) (Mullally 20 13, Giudicessi 2013), based on the lack of conservation at this position, this v ariant is likely benign. -

The c.1726G>A p.(Val576Ile) variant in KCNQ1 has previously been reported heterozygous in an individual with long QT syndrome [PMID: 23174487] and compound heterozygous in an individual with Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome without deafness [PMID: 23392653]. This variant has been deposited in ClinVar [ClinVar ID:200813] as Variant of Uncertain Significance, Likely benign, and Benign. The 1726G>A variant is observed in 24 alleles (~0.003% MAF with 0 homozygotes) in population databases (gnomAD v2.1.1 and v3.1.2, TOPMed Freeze 8), suggesting it is not a common benign variant in the populations represented in those databases.The c.1726G>A variant is located in exon 14 of this 16-exon gene and predicted to replace a poorly conserved valine amino acid with isoleucine at position 576. In silico predictions are inconclusive of the variant's effect (CADD v1.6 = 17.03, REVEL = 0.622); however, there are no functional studies to support or refute these predictions. Based on available evidence this c.1726G>A p.(Val576Ile) variant identified in KCNQ1 is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 576 of the KCNQ1 protein (p.Val576Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs750409379, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of KCNQ1-related conditions (PMID: 18752142, 23174487, 23392653). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 200813). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function outputs the following: PolyPhen-2: "Benign". The isoleucine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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 p.V576I variant (also known as c.1726G>A), located in coding exon 14 of the KCNQ1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1726. The valine at codon 576 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with highly similar properties, and is located in the C-terminal, cytoplasmic region of the protein. This variant co-occurred with a second KCNQ1 variant in an individual with long QT syndrome and intact hearing whose mother, with a normal QTc interval, carried only the p.V576I variant; however, the father was unavailable for testing (Giudicessi JR et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet, 2013 Apr;6:193-200). This variant has also been detected in long QT syndrome cohorts; however, details were limited (Mullally J et al. Heart Rhythm, 2013 Mar;10:378-82; Berge KE et al. Scand. J. Clin. Lab. Invest. 2008 ;68(5):362-8). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This missense variant replaces valine with isoleucine at codon 576 of the KCNQ1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in several individuals with long QT syndrome (PMID: 18752142, 23174487, 23392653). This variant co-occurred with a second KCNQ1 variant in an individual with long QT syndrome and intact hearing whose mother, with a normal QTc interval, carried only this variant (PMID: 23392653). This variant has been identified in 16/250990 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
