Genes affected

KCNJ2 (HGNC:6263): (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 2) Potassium channels are present in most mammalian cells, where they participate in a wide range of physiologic responses. The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein and inward-rectifier type potassium channel. The encoded protein, which has a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into a cell rather than out of a cell, probably participates in establishing action potential waveform and excitability of neuronal and muscle tissues. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Andersen syndrome, which is characterized by periodic paralysis, cardiac arrhythmias, and dysmorphic features. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. A different truncation downstream of this variant (p.Ser369*) has been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 21493816). This suggests that deletion of this region of the KCNJ2 protein is causative of disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a KCNJ2-related disease. This sequence change results in a premature translational stop signal in the last exon of the KCNJ2 mRNA at codon 239 (p.Glu239*). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to delete the last 189 amino acids of the KCNJ2 protein. -
