Genes affected

WNK1 (HGNC:14540): (WNK lysine deficient protein kinase 1) This gene encodes a member of the WNK subfamily of serine/threonine protein kinases. The encoded protein may be a key regulator of blood pressure by controlling the transport of sodium and chloride ions. Mutations in this gene have been associated with pseudohypoaldosteronism type II and hereditary sensory neuropathy type II. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described but the full-length nature of all of them has yet to be determined.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 12-868421-GA-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-868421-GA-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 21269.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 21269). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy (PMID: 15060842). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu984Aspfs*10) in the WNK1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in WNK1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 22910560). -
