Genes affected

KCNE3 (HGNC:6243): (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily E regulatory subunit 3) Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels represent the most complex class of voltage-gated ion channels from both functional and structural standpoints. Their diverse functions include regulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction, and cell volume. This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, isk-related subfamily. This member is a type I membrane protein, and a beta subunit that assembles with a potassium channel alpha-subunit to modulate the gating kinetics and enhance stability of the multimeric complex. This gene is prominently expressed in the kidney. A missense mutation in this gene is associated with hypokalemic periodic paralysis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Variants in candidate genes are classified as variants of uncertain significance in accordance with ACMG guidelines (PMID: 25741868) -

Ambry Genetics

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.R88H variant (also known as c.263G>A), located in coding exon 1 of the KCNE3 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 263. The arginine at codon 88 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. The evidence for this gene-disease relationship is limited; therefore, the clinical significance of this alteration is unclear. -

Uncertain:1

Jan 10, 2024

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 88 of the KCNE3 protein (p.Arg88His). This variant is present in population databases (rs17221833, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KCNE3-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 190801). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
