KCNQ1 Variant Browser

Here we have a comprehensive list of variants in KCNQ1 found in individuals affected and unaffected with the disease most commonly associated with variants in KCNQ1, congenital long QT type 1 (LQT1; OMIM: 192500). Coding variants are referenced to isoform P51787 (ENST00000155840.12) to match convention. 'Total Carriers' is the number of heterozygotes diagnosed with LQT1 or other disease, Unaffected with disease, and found in the genome aggregation database (gnomAD). 'Other' is the number of heterozygoes diagnosed with a cardiac disease which is not LQT1. Click the variant link for more details. Below are histogram plots for LQT2 affected carriers, unaffected carriers, and estimated LQTS penetrance. Use the 'Search Builder' and 'Search Panes' to select subsets of variants based on properties you are interested in (results will update the histogram plots below). 'GOF' and 'LOF' indicate gain-of-function and loss-of-function, respectively.

Histogram of KCNQ1 Variant Carriers with LQTS

Below is histogram of the number of heterozygous carriers of KCNQ1 variants observed in individuals diagnosed with LQT1 displayed in the table above. The y-axis is the number of unique variants and the x-axis shows the number of heterozygous carriers.

Histogram of Putative Unaffected Heterozygous KCNQ1 Variant Carriers

Below is a histogram of the number of heterozygous carriers of KCNQ1 variants observed in unaffected individuals and in gnomAD (given the rarity of the LQT1 phenotype in the general public, we assume these individuals are also likely unaffected) displayed in the table above. The y-axis is the number of unique variants (log scale) and the x-axis shows the number of heterozygous carriers (truncated at 300 to aid visualization).

Histogram of LQT1 Penetrance Estimates for KCNQ1 Variants

Below is a histogram of the estimates of LQT1 penetrance for all variants displayed in the table above. The range is from 0% (impossible) to 100% (certain).
