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]

p.Ala70Thr (GCA>ACA): c.208 G>A in exon 2 of the KCNJ2 gene (NM_000891.2). The Ala70Thr variant in the KCNJ2 gene has not been reported previously as a disease-causing mutation or as a benign polymorphism, to our knowledge. Ala70Thr results in a non-conservative amino acid substitution of a non-polar Alanine with a neutral, polar Threonine at a residue that is conserved across species. The NHLBI ESP Exome Variant Server reports Ala70Thr was not observed in approximately 6,000 samples from individuals of European and African American backgrounds, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. In addition, mutations in nearby codons (Tyr68Asp, Asp71Asn, Asp71Tyr, Asp71Val) have been reported in association with LQTS, supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. However, in silico analysis predicts Ala70Thr may have a benign effect on the protein structure/function.In summary, the clinical significance of the Ala70Thr variant in the KCNJ2 gene is currently unknown. The variant is found in LQT panel(s). -

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 70 of the KCNJ2 protein (p.Ala70Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs375605948, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KCNJ2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 190807). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt 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. -

The p.A70T variant (also known as c.208G>A), located in coding exon 1 of the KCNJ2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 208. The alanine at codon 70 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
