The NM_001148.6(ANK2):c.3652C>T(p.Pro1218Ser) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000477 in 1,613,944 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 Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. P1218A) has been classified as Uncertain significance.
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]

This variant is present in population databases (rs754740031, gnomAD 0.005%). 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. 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 not expected to disrupt ANK2 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 427962). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ANK2-related conditions. This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1218 of the ANK2 protein (p.Pro1218Ser). -

The p.P1218S variant (also known as c.3652C>T), located in coding exon 31 of the ANK2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 3652. The proline at codon 1218 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
