Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 23 ACMG points: 23P and 0B. PS3 PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000891.3(KCNJ2):​c.199C>T​(p.Arg67Trp) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,892 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV002038508: "its effect of p.R67W variatn is described in in vitro studies (PS3 criteria)"" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R67Q) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

KCNJ2 (HGNC:6263): (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 2) 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, probably participates in establishing action potential waveform and excitability of neuronal and muscle tissues. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Andersen syndrome, which is characterized by periodic paralysis, cardiac arrhythmias, and dysmorphic features. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 23 ACMG points.

• PS3: PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV002038508: "its effect of p.R67W variatn is described in in vitro studies (PS3 criteria)"; SCV000223534: Published functional studies demonstrate the variant alters channel function (Donaldson et al., 2003; Andelfinger et al., 2002); SCV000955346: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNJ2 function (PMID: 12148092, 20713726).; SCV001158053: Functional analyses of the variant protein show loss of channel function, dominant negative effects, and decreased PIP2 binding that inhibits channel function (Andelfinger 2002, Donaldson 2003).; SCV002717713: Limited functional studies demonstrated significant impact on potassium channel function (Andelfinger G et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet., 2002 Sep;71:663-8).
• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 5 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 11 uncertain in NM_000891.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr17-70175239-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 67560.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the KCNJ2 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 51 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 2 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 2.7459 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 3.9347 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to short QT syndrome type 3, short QT syndrome, Andersen-Tawil syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, long QT syndrome, familial atrial fibrillation, congenital heart disease.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.989
• PP5: Variant 17-70175238-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-70175238-C-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 8923.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
