Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5

The NM_000891.3(KCNJ2):​c.211G>C​(p.Asp71His) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. D71V) has been classified as 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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a topological_domain Cytoplasmic (size 79) in uniprot entity KCNJ2_HUMAN there are 15 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) 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 chr17-70175251-A-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• PP2: Missense variant in gene, where missense usually causes diseases (based on misZ statistic), KCNJ2. . Gene score misZ 2.7459 (greater than the threshold 3.09). Trascript score misZ 3.9347 (greater than threshold 3.09). GenCC has associacion of gene with long QT syndrome, short QT syndrome, Andersen-Tawil syndrome, familial atrial fibrillation, short QT syndrome type 3, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.994
• PP5: Variant 17-70175250-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-70175250-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 222676.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Uncertain_significance=1, Likely_pathogenic=1}.

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. This variant disrupts the p.Asp71 amino acid residue in KCNJ2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with KCNJ2-related conditions (PMID: 11371347, 12796536, 14522976, 12163457, 22186697), suggesting that it is a clinically significant residue. As a result, variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be causative of disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with KCNJ2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 222676). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces aspartic acid with histidine at codon 71 of the KCNJ2 protein (p.Asp71His). The aspartic acid residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between aspartic acid and histidine. -
