This is surprising because missense mutations in KVLQT1, acting in a dominant-negative manner, predominate in RWS. In Table 2 of the article by Li et al, 24 of the 26 mutations are missense (the 2 remaining being discussed here). We suggest alternative interpretations.The SP/A249/g-a mutation is a substitution G to A at the third position of codon 249, in which GCG is altered to GCA, occurring at the donor splice junction of exon 6. Mutation of splice sites can cause skipping of the affected exon, activation of cryptic splice sites, or retention of the intron.2 Exon skipping is common. If this occurs in SP/A249/g-a, the predicted protein will lack part of the pore and S6 transmembrane domain but may still multimerise, because if exon 6 is skipped, the resulting mRNA would still read “in frame.” In-frame but deleted transcripts may be stable and translated into protein, as shown for the dystrophin gene.3 The effect of the mutation should be confirmed in RNA, because frameshift and premature truncation of the KVLQT1 protein, as suggested by Li et al, would be a truly novel type of KVLQT1 mutation in RWS.The second mutation is the 3-bp deletion across an exon/intron boundary (denoted SP/V212/ΔGGT), disrupting the 5′ donor site of exon 5. A donor consensus splice site consists of CAG.gtaagt.4 In the patient in the study by Li et al, the wild-type exonic sequence GGG.GTG.gtaagt is mutated to GGG.GTaagt by deletion of 3 nucleotides, Ggt. The authors propose that the mutation SP/V212/ΔGGT alters splicing, leading to a 1-bp deletion in the coding region, causing frameshift and premature truncation of the predicted protein (see Figure ).However, a potential splice sequence, GGG.gtaagt, remains.4 Splicing here would delete a single valine,5 causing a mutant protein capable of dominant-negative action.Missense mutations in KVLQT1 predominate in RWS, whereas nonsense and frameshift mutations predominate in Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (Tyson, 1998, unpublished data). Carriers of nonsense mutations rarely manifest RWS clinically. The gene product of the null allele should not interfere with the wild-type allele in a dominant-negative manner.Download figureDownload PowerPoint References 1 Li H, Chen Q, Moss AJ, Robinson J, Goytia V, Perry JC, Vincent GM, Priori SG, Lehmann MH, Denfield SW, Duff D, Kaine S, Shimizu W, Schwartz PJ, Wang Q, Towbin JA.
