Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP2PP3_ModeratePP5
The NM_000891.3(KCNJ2):c.901A>G(p.Met301Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,886 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. M301L) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

p.Met301Val (ATG>GTG): c.901 A>G in exon 2 of the KCNJ2 gene (NM_000891.2). The M301V mutation in the KCNJ2 gene has not been reported as a disease-causing mutation or a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. Mutations affecting this same residue (M301K) and nearby residues (E299V, G300V, G300A, G300D, V302M) have been reported in association with Short QT syndrome or Andersen-Tawil syndrome, supporting the functional importance of this residue and this region of the protein. Although M301V results in a conservative amino acid substitution, this substitution occurs at a position that is highly conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts M301V is damaging to the protein structure/function. Furthermore, M301V was not observed in approximately 6500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. In summary, M301V in the KCNJ2 gene is interpreted as a likely disease-causing mutation. The variant is found in LQT panel(s). -
Andersen Tawil syndrome;C1865018:Short QT syndrome type 3    Uncertain:1 
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 do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with KCNJ2-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 190816). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces methionine with valine at codon 301 of the KCNJ2 protein (p.Met301Val). The methionine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between methionine and valine. -
