Description
This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 111 of the KCNQ1 protein (p.Tyr111Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs199472678, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome and/or long QT syndrome (PMID: 10973849, 20031635, 21129503, 22539601). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53035). 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. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNQ1 function (PMID: 17053194, 19114714, 29532034). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
