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]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 325 of the KCNJ2 protein (p.Arg325Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs202067116, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with arrhythmogenic disorders and/or long QT syndrome (PMID: 27920829, 30975432, 31737537). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 190821). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on KCNJ2 protein function. 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. -

Has been reported in one individual with LQTS; however this individual also harbored a pathogenic variant in a second cardiac gene related to LQTS (Burns et al., 2016); Also reported as a variant of uncertain significant in a adult male with sudden cardiac arrest and no prior cardiac phenotype; additional information, such segregation or functional studies were not specified in this report (Asatryan et al., 2019); Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 27920829, 30975432, 31737537) -

Significance:Benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as 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. -
