Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Moderate

The NM_000891.3(KCNJ2):​c.224C>G​(p.Thr75Arg) 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 Pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. T75A) 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 13 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 chr17-70175262-A-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• 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 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, 0.993
• PP5: Variant 17-70175263-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-70175263-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 8928.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr17-70175263-C-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 75 of the KCNJ2 protein (p.Thr75Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Andersen-Tawil syndrome (PMID: 12796536, 16571646). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 8928). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt KCNJ2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNJ2 function (PMID: 16571646). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. This variant disrupts the p.Thr75 amino acid residue in KCNJ2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15911703, 16217063, 17341397, 17582433, 18452873, 24861851). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
