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.

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 324 of the KCNJ6 protein (p.Ser324Pro). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KCNJ6-related conditions. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt KCNJ6 protein function. 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. -
