11 BrS1 · 1 LQT3 · 1 unaffected

E161K is present in 1 alleles in gnomAD. This residue resides in a Hotspot region for Brugada syndrome and a Non_Hotspot region for LQT3.

Variant features alone are equivalent to phenotyping 4 individuals for Brugada syndrome and 0 individuals for LQT3.

In silico predictors

Variant-level computational predictors.
PROVEAN PolyPhen-2 BLAST-PSSM REVEL Penetrance Density BrS (%) Penetrance Density LQT3 (%)
-3.45 0.999 -2.88 0.961 67 2

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. Penetrance density summarises neighbouring residue risk (Kroncke et al. 2019).

Functional data

Peak and late/persistent current values are relative to wild-type (100% indicates no change). V1/2 activation and inactivation denote the membrane potentials (mV) at which half-maximal current is achieved.

Published electrophysiology measurements.
