Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -4 ACMG points: 0P and 4B. BS2
The NM_006648.4(WNK2):c.4801delG(p.Asp1601ThrfsTer35) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000495 in 1,414,868 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
WNK2 (HGNC:14542): (WNK lysine deficient protein kinase 2) The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic serine-threonine kinase that belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. The protein plays an important role in the regulation of electrolyte homeostasis, cell signaling survival, and proliferation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
