Genes affected

KCNE2 (HGNC:6242): (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily E regulatory subunit 2) Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels represent the most complex class of voltage-gated ion channels from both functional and structural standpoints. Their diverse functions include regulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction, and cell volume. This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, isk-related subfamily. This member is a small integral membrane subunit that assembles with the KCNH2 gene product, a pore-forming protein, to alter its function. This gene is expressed in heart and muscle and the gene mutations are associated with cardiac arrhythmia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Variant summary: KCNE2 c.229C>T (p.Arg77Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.7e-05 in 246246 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 1.1 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in KCNE2 causing Arrhythmia phenotype (7e-05), suggesting that the variant may be benign. c.229C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LQTS, Brugada syndrome and sudden death (Chevalier_2007, Di Resta_2015, Methner_2016, Millat_2006), without strong evidence for causality. These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Arrhythmia. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. One laboratory classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as a VUS. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 77 of the KCNE2 protein (p.Arg77Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs141423405, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with or evaluated for long QT syndrome, arrhythmia, or Brugada syndrome (PMID: 16922724, 17275752, 26220970, 28794082). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 67614). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C15"). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect KCNE2 function (PMID: 17275752). 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. -

Benign:1

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

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. -
