The NM_001148.6(ANK2):c.7255G>A(p.Glu2419Lys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000821 in 1,461,814 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar 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]

The E2419K variant of uncertain significance in the ANK2 gene has not been published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge. This variant is not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). Furthermore, E2419K is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution also occurs at a position where only amino acids with similar properties to glutamate are tolerated across species. In addition, the majority of in silico tools predict E2419K is probably damaging the protein structure/function. Moreover, no missense variants in nearby residues have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with arrhythmia (Stenson et al., 2014).Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is pathogenic or rare benign. -

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 2419 of the ANK2 protein (p.Glu2419Lys). 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 are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 191193). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ANK2-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs752704424, gnomAD 0.002%). -
