The NM_001148.6(ANK2):c.1136G>T(p.Arg379Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000219 in 1,614,122 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic 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. R379C) has been classified as Likely benign.
ANK2 (HGNC:493): (ankyrin 2) This gene encodes a member of the ankyrin family of proteins that link the integral membrane proteins to the underlying spectrin-actin cytoskeleton. Ankyrins play key roles in activities such as cell motility, activation, proliferation, contact and the maintenance of specialized membrane domains. Most ankyrins are typically composed of three structural domains: an amino-terminal domain containing multiple ankyrin repeats; a central region with a highly conserved spectrin binding domain; and a carboxy-terminal regulatory domain which is the least conserved and subject to variation. The protein encoded by this gene is required for targeting and stability of Na/Ca exchanger 1 in cardiomyocytes. Mutations in this gene cause long QT syndrome 4 and cardiac arrhythmia syndrome. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]

The ANK2 c.1136G>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg379Leu. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.020% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; Reported in ClinVar as a variant of uncertain significance but additional evidence is not available (ClinVar Variant ID# 190592; Landrum et al., 2016) -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 379 of the ANK2 protein (p.Arg379Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs186264035, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ANK2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 190592). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on ANK2 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. -

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
