Description
This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 150 of the KCNQ1 protein (p.Ala150Thr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of long QT syndrome (PMID: 31899541). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 200909). 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 with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNQ1 function (PMID: 29532034, 30571187, 31899541). 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.
