Genes affected

KCNA5 (HGNC:6224): (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 5) Potassium channels represent the most complex class of voltage-gated ino channels from both functional and structural standpoints. Their diverse functions include regulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction, and cell volume. Four sequence-related potassium channel genes - shaker, shaw, shab, and shal - have been identified in Drosophila, and each has been shown to have human homolog(s). This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, shaker-related subfamily. This member contains six membrane-spanning domains with a shaker-type repeat in the fourth segment. It belongs to the delayed rectifier class, the function of which could restore the resting membrane potential of beta cells after depolarization and thereby contribute to the regulation of insulin secretion. This gene is intronless, and the gene is clustered with genes KCNA1 and KCNA6 on chromosome 12. Defects in this gene are a cause of familial atrial fibrillation type 7 (ATFB7).

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant, c.852_869del, results in the deletion of 6 amino acid(s) of the KCNA5 protein (p.His284_His289del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KCNA5-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 469600). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -

Collection Method: provider interpretation

Testing was performed at Invitae. Seen at our center in a patient with ARVC. Given the weak gene-disease association, gene-phenotype mismatch, and lack of case data, we consider this variant a variant of uncertain significance and we do not feel it is suitable for assessing risk in healthy relatives ("predictive genetic testing"). The KCNA5 gene is associated with autosomal dominant atrial fibrillation (MedGen UID: 393658). Additionally, the KCNA5 gene has preliminary evidence supporting a correlation with autosomal dominant pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) (PMID: 24936649). There is no established relationship with ARVC to date. The variant has not been reported in the literature (per PubMed and Google). Functional prediction algorithms are not available for this variant. The variant results in a 6 amino acid deletion but otherwise preserves integrity of the reading frame. The variant is not reported in the Genome Aggregation Consortium Dataset (gnomAD; http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/), which currently includes variant calls on >140,000 unrelated individuals of African, Asian, European, Latino, and Ashkenazi descent. However, given that this variant is a small indel, we can rely heavily on its absence since sequencing methods used in this cohort may not have detected this variant type. The average coverage at this site is 30x in genomes and 90x in exomes. -
