not provided Uncertain:1
The p.Ser1570Leu variant has been previously reported in association with long QT syndrome in a single family (Chen 2007). Functional studies performed by Chen et al. suggest the p.Ser1570Leu variant alters the binding between AKAP9 and KCNQ1 which results in a decrease in cyclic AMP associated current in an in vitro model system. This may prolong the action potential of cardiomyocytes but the p.Ser1570Leu variant has not been tested in cardiomyocytes. The serine at position 1570 is weakly conserved and most other non-primate mammalian species have leucine at this position suggesting this change may be evolutionally tolerated. This variant is listed in the genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) on 2 chromosomes (identified on 2 out of 239,262 chromosomes). Altogether, there is not enough evidence to classify the p.Ser1570Leu variant with certainty. -
Long QT syndrome Uncertain:1
Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects AKAP9 function (PMID: 18093912). 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. This variant is present in population databases (rs121908566, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with long QT syndrome (PMID: 18093912). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5883). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The leucine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1570 of the AKAP9 protein (p.Ser1570Leu). -
Cardiovascular phenotype Benign:1
This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
