RCV000470447 | SCV000563803 | pathogenic | Long QT syndrome | 2016-10-18 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing exons 8-9 of the KCNQ1 gene. This leads to an in-frame deletion, preserving the integrity of the reading frame. Similar deletions of exons encompassing 8-9 have been reported in the literature in individuals affected with long QT syndrome (PMID:25494010, 24606995). Missense substitutions (p.Lys362Arg, p.Arg380Ser) within exons 8-9 are reported to be deleterious (PMID: 15840476, 24947509, 15840476, 17222736). This indicates that exons 8-9 are important for KCNQ1 protein function For these reasons, this sequence change has been classified as Pathogenic. |
