Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points: 1P and 6B. PP2BP4_ModerateBS2
The NM_001148.6(ANK2):c.4456G>A(p.Val1486Ile) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000547 in 1,461,528 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. V1486L) has been classified as Likely benign.
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]

In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Located in exon 38, which is reported as being expressed in a brain-specific transcript (Otto et al, 1991; Cunha et al, 2008; Wu et al, 2015); Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -

The p.V1486I variant (also known as c.4456G>A), located in coding exon 38 of the ANK2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 4456. The valine at codon 1486 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
