Description
p.Ala344Ala (GCG>GCC): c.1032 G>C in exon 7 of the KCNQ1 gene (NM_000218.2). The c.1032 G>C mutation in the KCNQ1 gene has been reported to co-segregate with a LQTS phenotype in one family (Murray A et al., 1999). The c.1032 G>C mutation changes the last nucleotide in exon 7 of the KCNQ1 gene, which affects the donor splice site and results in exon skipping (Murray A et al., 1999). Furthermore, a different nucleotide change at the same codon (c.1032 G>A, Ala344Ala) also has been reported to affect the donor splice site, and it has been reported in association with LQTS (Murray A et al., 1999). The c.1032 G>C mutation was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations.In summary, c.1032 G>C in the KCNQ1 gene is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. The variant is found in LQT panel(s).
