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.232G>T​(p.Asp78Tyr) 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. D78G) 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 chr17-70175272-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, 0.994
• PP5: Variant 17-70175271-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-70175271-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 67566.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNJ2 function (PMID: 17568571). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Asp78 amino acid residue in KCNJ2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with KCNJ2-related conditions (PMID: 16217063), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67566). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Andersen-Tawil syndrome (PMID: 16419128, 17568571). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 78 of the KCNJ2 protein (p.Asp78Tyr). -
