R555L is present in 1 alleles in gnomAD. This residue resides in a Mild_Hotspot region for LQT1.

Variant features alone are equivalent to phenotyping 3 individuals with LQT1 and 7 unaffected individuals.

In silico predictors

Variant-level computational predictors.
PROVEAN PolyPhen-2 BLAST-PSSM REVEL Penetrance Density LQT1 (%)
-6.14 0.995 -3 0.941 39

PROVEAN scores below -2 suggest deleterious impact. REVEL scores above 0.5–0.75 are often interpreted as likely pathogenic. PolyPhen-2 scores above 0.85 are typically pathogenic. BLAST-PSSM reflects evolutionary conservation; more negative values indicate rarer substitutions. Penetrance density summarises neighbouring residue risk (Kroncke et al. 2019).
