Description
This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 300 of the KCNQ1 protein (p.Ala300Glu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome and/or long QT syndrome (Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405257). 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 expected to disrupt KCNQ1 protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Ala300 amino acid residue in KCNQ1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with KCNQ1-related conditions (PMID: 9641694, 11087258, 27251404, 28600177, 30571187, 33693037; Invitae), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
