Genes affected

KCNJ8 (HGNC:6269): (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 8) 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, is controlled by G-proteins. Defects in this gene may be a cause of J-wave syndromes and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]

KCNJ8 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 1 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in gene, where missense usually causes diseases (based on misZ statistic), KCNJ8. . Gene score misZ 3.4549 (greater than the threshold 3.09). Trascript score misZ 4.3809 (greater than threshold 3.09). GenCC has associacion of gene with hypertrichotic osteochondrodysplasia Cantu type, Brugada syndrome, Brugada syndrome 1.
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.15686077).

Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. 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. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with KCNJ8-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 180388). This sequence change replaces arginine with serine at codon 394 of the KCNJ8 protein (p.Arg394Ser). The arginine residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between arginine and serine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). -

The p.R394S variant (also known as c.1182G>C), located in coding exon 2 of the KCNJ8 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 1182. The arginine at codon 394 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with dissimilar 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. -
