Genes affected

WNK4 (HGNC:14544): (WNK lysine deficient protein kinase 4) This gene encodes a member of the WNK family of serine-threonine protein kinases. The kinase is part of the tight junction complex in kidney cells, and regulates the balance between NaCl reabsorption and K(+) secretion. The kinase regulates the activities of several types of ion channels, cotransporters, and exchangers involved in electrolyte flux in epithelial cells. Mutations in this gene result in pseudohypoaldosteronism type IIB.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

The c.148G>A (p.A50T) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the WNK4 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 148, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 50 to be replaced by a threonine (T). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

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. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt WNK4 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2219601). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with WNK4-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs529976001, gnomAD 0.01%). This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 50 of the WNK4 protein (p.Ala50Thr). -
