Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -8 ACMG points: 0P and 8B. BP4_StrongBS2

The NM_032387.5(WNK4):​c.2980C>T​(p.Arg994Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000743 in 1,614,126 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 16/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R994Q) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]
COA3 (HGNC:24990): (cytochrome c oxidase assembly factor 3) This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome c oxidase assembly factor family. Studies of a related gene in fly suggest that the encoded protein is localized to mitochondria and is essential for cytochrome c oxidase function. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]

Submissions by phenotype

Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 04, 2024The c.2980C>T (p.R994W) alteration is located in exon 15 (coding exon 15) of the WNK4 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2980, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 994 to be replaced by a tryptophan (W). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
