Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points: 3P and 2B. PM2 PP2 BP4_Moderate

The NM_002241.5(KCNJ10):​c.62T>C​(p.Met21Thr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,461,860 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 17/22 in silico tools predict 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. M21I) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 14 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 1 curated benign missense variants. Trascript score misZ: 2.7053 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to EAST syndrome, enlarged vestibular aqueduct syndrome, Pendred syndrome.
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.15139133).

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.M21T variant (also known as c.62T>C), located in coding exon 1 of the KCNJ10 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 62. The methionine at codon 21 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 21 of the KCNJ10 protein (p.Met21Thr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KCNJ10-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 239111). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt KCNJ10 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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. -
