Genes affected

KCNJ6 (HGNC:6267): (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 6) This gene encodes a member of the G protein-coupled inwardly-rectifying potassium channel family of inward rectifier potassium channels. This type of potassium channel allows a greater flow of potassium into the cell than out of it. These proteins modulate many physiological processes, including heart rate in cardiac cells and circuit activity in neuronal cells, through G-protein coupled receptor stimulation. Mutations in this gene are associated with Keppen-Lubinsky Syndrome, a rare condition characterized by severe developmental delay, facial dysmorphism, and intellectual disability.

The c.1132G>A (p.E378K) alteration is located in exon 4 (coding exon 3) of the KCNJ6 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1132, causing the glutamic acid (E) at amino acid position 378 to be replaced by a lysine (K). Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), the KCNJ6 c.1132G>A alteration was not observed, with coverage at this position. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. The p.E378K alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
