Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -4 ACMG points: 0P and 4B. BS2
The NM_001148.6(ANK2):c.3176T>C(p.Leu1059Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000743 in 1,614,044 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★).
ANK2 (HGNC:493): (ankyrin 2) This gene encodes a member of the ankyrin family of proteins that link the integral membrane proteins to the underlying spectrin-actin cytoskeleton. Ankyrins play key roles in activities such as cell motility, activation, proliferation, contact and the maintenance of specialized membrane domains. Most ankyrins are typically composed of three structural domains: an amino-terminal domain containing multiple ankyrin repeats; a central region with a highly conserved spectrin binding domain; and a carboxy-terminal regulatory domain which is the least conserved and subject to variation. The protein encoded by this gene is required for targeting and stability of Na/Ca exchanger 1 in cardiomyocytes. Mutations in this gene cause long QT syndrome 4 and cardiac arrhythmia syndrome. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1059 of the ANK2 protein (p.Leu1059Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs45541631, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ANK2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 526941). 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) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on ANK2 protein function. 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. -

The p.L1059S variant (also known as c.3176T>C), located in coding exon 28 of the ANK2 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 3176. The leucine at codon 1059 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
