The NM_002241.5(KCNJ10):c.500_501delinsTA (p.Ala167Val) variant causes a missense change. Note: allele frequency estimates from gnomAD may be inaccurate for this variant type (MNP or indel longer than 3 bp) due to technology limitations. The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. The affected nucleotide is highly conserved across species (PhyloP 100-way vertebrate score: 8.09). No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.A167= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 129315, 2 stars); p.A167T: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 4697701, 1 star) This exact variant is curated in the UniProt human variants database as Pathogenic, associated with Seizures, sensorineural deafness, ataxia, impaired intellectual development, and electrolyte imbalance (SESAMES); it is also listed as a COSMIC curated somatic variant.

Genes affected

KCNJ10 (HGNC:6256): (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 10) This gene encodes a member of the inward rectifier-type potassium channel family, characterized by having a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into, rather than out of, a cell. The encoded protein may form a heterodimer with another potassium channel protein and may be responsible for the potassium buffering action of glial cells in the brain. Mutations in this gene have been associated with seizure susceptibility of common idiopathic generalized epilepsy syndromes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Classification according to ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 4 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	O3Absent or very rare in population		Absent or extremely rare in gnomAD (AC ≤ 2) — O3 moderate; GnomAD: AF = absent, AC = 0 — absent/extremely rare (O3 moderate [+2])
	O7Mutational hotspot or critical domain		Supporting: cancerhotspots.org hit, critical domain, or missense neighbourhood hotspot; No cancerhotspots.org hit at this position; UniProt domain: 0 pathogenic, 0 benign.; ±8 AA neighbourhood: 6 pathogenic, 0 benign (OR vs. background: 65.0); Variant does not impact splicing — splice-hotspot path not applicable
	O8Missense constraint in gene or region		Missense in gene/domain constrained for missense variation where missense is common disease mechanism (O8 supporting); Gene/disease mechanism: missense is a common mechanism of oncogenesis; gnomAD missense Z-score: 2.71 (threshold ≥3.09 for constraint); Domain-level constraint: variant is in a critically constrained functional domain (IS_AT_CRITICAL_DOMAIN)
