Genes affected

KCNJ11 (HGNC:6257): (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 11) Potassium channels are present in most mammalian cells, where they participate in a wide range of physiologic responses. The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein and inward-rectifier type potassium channel. The encoded protein, which has a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into a cell rather than out of a cell, is controlled by G-proteins and is found associated with the sulfonylurea receptor SUR. Mutations in this gene are a cause of familial persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (PHHI), an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by unregulated insulin secretion. Defects in this gene may also contribute to autosomal dominant non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type II (NIDDM), transient neonatal diabetes mellitus type 3 (TNDM3), and permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus (PNDM). Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 50 of the KCNJ11 protein (p.Arg50Gln). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant KCNJ11-related early onset diabetes (PMID: 17635943, 22749773, 32893419, 33409956). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 36431). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt KCNJ11 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNJ11 function (PMID: 16731833). This variant disrupts the p.Arg50Gly amino acid residue in KCNJ11. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 17635943; internal data). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Published functional studies demonstrate a reduction in the sensitivity of the K(ATP) channel to inhibition by MgATP causing significantly enhanced whole-cell K(ATP) currents, which is expected to reduce insulin secretion (Girard et al., 2006; Shimomura et al., 2006); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 15561897, 28824061, 21953423, 22134088, 18335204, 28667717, 32598018, 32935446, 16609879, 9831713, 18436707, 17635943, 27223594, 26388896, 22826452, 32893419, 27167055, 12213829, 23462667, 16731833, 17021801, 34566892, 22749773, 21352428, 27681997, 32418263, 33409956) -

Variant summary: KCNJ11 c.149G>A (p.Arg50Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Potassium channel, inwardly rectifying, transmembrane domain (IPR040445) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 252022 control chromosomes. c.149G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Neonatal Diabetes Mellitus and was a de-novo occurrence in a subset of these ascertained cases (example, Slingerland_2006, Shimomura_2006, Suzuki_2008, Rica_2007, Flanagan_2006, Pearson_2006, Girard_2006, Garcin_2020). It has also been reported among variants responsive to sulfonylurea treatment (example, Garcin_2020). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in reduced channel ATP sensitivity and increased sensitivity to Mg2+ upon expression of mutant homomeric and heteromeric channels in Xenopus oocytes (example, Shimomura_2006). One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. One laboratory classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
