Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PM4BS2

The NM_004982.4(KCNJ8):​c.1192_1209dupATCCGAAGGAACAATTCT​(p.Ser403_Ser404insIleArgArgAsnAsnSer) variant causes a conservative inframe insertion change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000752 in 1,461,808 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type INS_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).

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]

The c.1192_1209dupATCCGAAGGAACAATTCT variant (also known as p.I398_S403dup), located in coding exon 2 of the KCNJ8 gene, results from an in-frame duplication of 18 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 1192 to 1209. This results in the duplication of 6 extra residues (IRRNNS) between codons 398 and 403 in the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain of the KCNJ8 protein. An in-frame deletion in the C-terminal cytoplasmic region, p.E332del, has been shown to disrupt protein function (Tester DJ et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet. 2011;4:510-5); however, evidence that this in-frame duplication has a similar effect is lacking. This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the following databases: Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP), Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC), NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), and 1000 Genomes Project. In the ESP, this variant was not observed in 6503 samples (13006 alleles) with coverage at this position. These amino acid positions are well conserved in available vertebrate species. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
