| Ambry Genetics | RCV000244156 | SCV000318308 | pathogenic | Cardiovascular phenotype | 2018-02-05 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.A561P pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1681G>C), located in coding exon 7 of the KCNH2 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 1681. The alanine at codon 561 is replaced by proline, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration was detected in a proband with long QT syndrome (LQTS) with drug-induced torsades de pointes as well as in the proband's father and brother, both of whom exhibited prolonged QTc intervals (Bellocq C et al. Mol Pharmacol. 2004;66(5):1093-102). In vitro functional studies have reported that this alteration results in abnormal protein trafficking and altered ion channel function (Bellocq C et al. Mol Pharmacol. 2004;66(5):1093-102; Anderson CL et al. Nat Commun. 2014;5:5535; Jouni M et al. J Am Heart Assoc. 2015;4(9):e002159). Two disease-causing mutations, p.A561V and p.A561T, have been described in the same codon (Curran ME et al. Cell. 1995;80(5):795-803; Dausse E et al. J Mol Cell Cardiol. 1996;28(8):1609-15). In addition, internal structural analysis indicates that this alteration, which occurs in the S5 domain of the central pore, is structurally disruptive (Ambry internal data; Long SB et al. Nature. 2007;450(7168):376-82). Based on the supporting evidence, p.A561P is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. |
