The variant received -3 classification points (ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019). PM2BP4_StrongBP7

The NM_000891.3(KCNJ2):c.201G>T (p.Arg67Arg) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. In-silico predictor (BayesDel (noAF)) classifies this variant as likely benign. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.

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]

Classification according to ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -3 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	PM2Absent/extremely low in population databases		Absent from gnomAD (AD/XL gene) — PM2; Absent from gnomAD at well-covered site (MOI: AD/XL) (threshold 0.0001) — PM2 moderate.
	BP4Computational evidence suggests no impact		Computational evidence supports benign — no pathogenic computational or splicing signal (BP4); Splicing verdict: benign (Strong).; Germline computational verdict: benign (Strong).
	BP7Synonymous variant, no splicing impact		Synonymous variant at non-conserved position with no predicted splicing impact (BP7); Synonymous at non-conserved position, no splicing concern — benign (BP7).
