Description
The c.783G>C (p.Glu261Asp) variant in KCNQ1 gene, that encodes for potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 1, has been identified in heterozygous status in multiple unrelated individuals (at least 9) with Long QT syndrome (LQTS) (PMID: 15840476, 18752142, 23631430, 26675252) and in one individual affected with Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (PMID:11140949). This variant has also been observed in compound heterozygous status (with another pathogenic variant p.Glu530*) in two individuals with Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) (PMID: 10704188, 26675252). Expermental studies using Xenopus oocytes showed strong dominant negative effect resulted in pronounced reduction in current amplitude compared to control (PMID: 11530100). When co-expressed with KCNE1 in CHO-K1 and murine myocyte cell line, this variant showed retention of protein to the endoplasmic reticulum and decrease in tail current density (PMID: 15935335). In-silico computational prediction tools suggest that the p.Glu261Aspvariant may have deleterious effect on the protein function (REVEL score: 0.867). This variant is found to be absent in the general population database, gnomAD and interpreted as pathogenic by a submitter in the ClinVar database (ClinVar ID: 53104). Other missense variants substituting the same amino acid (p.Glu261Leu, p.Glu261Gln, p.Glu261Lys) are reported in multiple individuals with LQTS (PMID: 9386136, 19716085, 26669661, 27041096) and classified as likely pathogenic/pathogenic by several submitters in the ClinVar (ClinVar ID: 405253, 67106, 53103). Therefore, the c.783G>C (p.Glu261Asp) variant in the KCNQ1 gene is classified as pathogenic.
