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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the KCNJ2 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 51 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 2 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 2.7459 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 3.9347 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to long QT syndrome, short QT syndrome, Andersen-Tawil syndrome, familial atrial fibrillation, short QT syndrome type 3, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.992

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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with KCNJ2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 447638). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces leucine with histidine at codon 193 of the KCNJ2 protein (p.Leu193His). The leucine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between leucine and histidine. -
