The NM_000891.3(KCNJ2):c.199C>T (p.Arg67Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.000000684 (AC=1) in the gnomAD database across 1,461,892 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.000000899. In-silico predictor (REVEL) classifies this variant as likely damaging/oncogenic. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV002038508: "its effect of p.R67W variatn is described in in vitro studies (PS3 criteria)"" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. A different missense at the same amino acid position has been reported as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic in ClinVar: p.R67Q: Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 67560, 2 stars) Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.R67= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 2566714, 1 star) This exact variant is curated in the UniProt human variants database as Uncertain Significance; it is also listed as a COSMIC curated somatic variant.

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]

Classification according to ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 19 points.

PS3Functional studies show damaging effect
Well-established functional study supports damaging effect (PS3); SCV002038508: "its effect of p.R67W variatn is described in in vitro studies (PS3 criteria)"; SCV000223534: Published functional studies demonstrate the variant alters channel function (Donaldson et al., 2003; Andelfinger et al., 2002); SCV000955346: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNJ2 function (PMID: 12148092, 20713726).; SCV001158053: Functional analyses of the variant protein show loss of channel function, dominant negative effects, and decreased PIP2 binding that inhibits channel function (Andelfinger 2002, Donaldson 2003).; SCV002717713: Limited functional studies demonstrated significant impact on potassium channel function (Andelfinger G et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet., 2002 Sep;71:663-8).
PM1Mutational hot spot or critical domain
UniProt domain with ≥4 pathogenic missense and OR ≥ 5 vs. background — hotspot (PM1); In-domain: 12 pathogenic, 5 benign rare missense variants (OR vs. background: 11.4).; ±8 AA neighbourhood: 5 pathogenic, 1 benign (OR vs. background: 18.3).
PM2Absent/extremely low in population databases
Very rare in gnomAD for AD/XL gene (popmax AF < threshold/10) — PM2; GnomAD popmax AF = 0.000000899 — very rare for AD/XL gene (threshold 0.0001) — PM2 moderate.
PM5Novel missense at known pathogenic residue
Different pathogenic missense at same AA residue in ClinVar (PM5); ClinVar contains a germline Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic entry at the same amino acid position with a different amino acid change: p.R67Q: Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 67560, 2 stars); Other variants at the same amino acid residue (not pathogenic): p.R67= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 2566714, 1 star)
PP2Missense in gene with low missense rate
Missense in gene constrained for missense variation where missense is common disease mechanism (PP2); Missense in a gene constrained for missense variation (gnomAD Z-score: 3.943). ClinVar shows strong pathogenic missense enrichment: 64 P/LP and 16 B/LB missense entries (ratio 4.0×).
PP3Computational evidence supports damaging effect
Germline meta computational scorer (REVEL/MetaRNN/BayesDel) predicts damaging effect — strong evidence (PP3); Splicing verdict: not pathogenic.; Germline computational verdict: pathogenic (Strong).
PP5Reputable source reports pathogenic
ClinVar 2-star pathogenic — strong (PP5); ClinVar submissions overwhelmingly pathogenic (≥10 total, ≥80% P/LP, <10% B/LB) — strong (PP5, count-based); ClinVar germline classification: Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic, 2 star(s). ClinVar submissions strongly and reliably favor pathogenicity (11/11 total P/LP).
