Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points: 2P and 1B. PM2 BP4

The NM_002246.3(KCNK3):​c.1180G>A​(p.Val394Met) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000155 in 1,293,946 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 (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. V394A) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

KCNK3 (HGNC:6278): (potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 3) This gene encodes a member of the superfamily of potassium channel proteins that contain two pore-forming P domains. The encoded protein is an outwardly rectifying channel that is sensitive to changes in extracellular pH and is inhibited by extracellular acidification. Also referred to as an acid-sensitive potassium channel, it is activated by the anesthetics halothane and isoflurane. Although three transcripts are detected in northern blots, there is currently no sequence available to confirm transcript variants for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 394 of the KCNK3 protein (p.Val394Met). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KCNK3-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 474317). 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"). 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. -
