The NM_001148.6(ANK2):c.11218C>A(p.Leu3740Ile) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00175 in 1,614,058 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 55 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/20 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar 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]

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

Variant summary: ANK2 c.11218C>A (p.Leu3740Ile) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0025 in 252716 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 10 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 245 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in ANK2 causing Arrhythmia phenotype (1e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. c.11218C>A has been reported in the literature in sequencing studies of individuals affected with Arrhythmic/SIDS/cardiac phenotypes without strong evidence of causality (example, Mohler_2004, Sherman_2005, Ng_2013, Methner_2016, Neubauer_2017). These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in a mild loss-of-function that may confer arrhythmia susceptibility in the context of secondary risk factors including environment,medication,and/or additional genetic variation (example, Musa_2016). However, to our knowledge, no large scale case control studies reporting the odds ratio (OR) and relative risk for an association of this variant with phenotypes of Arrythmia have been reported at present. Therefore, the exact consequences of these findings in settings of a penetrant and inheritable arrythmic phenotype is not substantiated. Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as benign/likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

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. -
