Submissions by phenotype
not provided Uncertain:2
Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Located in exon 38, which is reported as being expressed in a brain-specific transcript (Otto et al, 1991; Cunha et al, 2008; Wu et al, 2015); Reported in ClinVar but additional evidence is not available (ClinVar Variant ID#406493; Landrum et al., 2016) -
We have seen this variant in an adult with familial atrial fibrillation in our center. Testing done by Invitae. p.Arg2506Gln (c.7517G>A) in exon 38 of the ANK2 gene (NM_001148.4) Chromosome position 4:114277291 G / A Given the lack of case data and the presence in gnomAD, with an elevated allele frequency in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, we consider this a variant of uncertain significance, probably benign, and we do not feel it is suitable for assessing risk in healthy relatives ("predictive genetic testing"). ANK2: The ANK2 gene encodes ankyrin-2 (aka ankyrin-B), which links integral membrane proteins to the underlying spectrin-actin cytoskeleton and plays a role in signaling and membrane protein trafficking and regulation. Mohler et al (2003) first proposed a link between ANK2 and long QT syndrome. A missense variant in ANK2 co-segregated with disease in 24 affected members of a large French kindred. They had a mixed phenotype of long QT syndrome, sinus node dysfunction and atrial fibrillation, which has been labeled long QT type 4. Inheritance was autosomal dominant. Sinus node dysfunction was detectable in utero while atrial fibrillation was only observed in adulthood. Mice heterozygous for a null variant in ANK2 were shown to be haploinsufficient for ankyrin-2 and to have arrhythmias similar to those seen in the human patients. In vitro studies revealed disruption of the cellular organization of the sodium pump, the sodium/calcium exchanger, and inositol-1, 4, 5- triphosphate receptors. Altered calcium signaling was also observed and was considered the rationale for arrhythmia. Additional cases of long QT and other arrhythmic phenotypes associated with ANK2 have since been reported (see Smith et al 2012 for review). Cunha et al (2011) provided a summary atrial fibrillation in families with ANK2 variants: "We identified a high incidence of AF in ANK2 mutation-positive probands. Probands harboring ANK2 loss-of-function alleles displayed early onset AF, commonly progressing to permanent AF.9, 13, 14 In one large kindred (74 members), 13 of 25 ANK2 loss-of-function variant carriers (phenotypes previously mapped to ANK2, Zmax=7.059) displayed AF (mean onset 40 ±18 years, 5 paroxysmal, 8 permanent), whereas non-carriers were asymptomatic.Only two individuals were non-penetrant for atrial phenotypes. The others had AF, AF with sinus node dysfunction, or sinus node dysfunction alone. In an unrelated large family, 20/36 individuals were positive for the ANK2 disease allele (maximal LOD score was for marker D4S1616; linkage Zmax=5.9, ?=0), and 3 of 20 disease allele carriers displayed AF (mean onset 48 ±12 years, two paroxysmal, 1 permanent), while thirteen displayed sinus node disease requiring pacemaker implantation (mean age for implantation 30±18 years12). Only four individuals were non-penetrant for atrial phenotypes." (see Cunha et al 2011 for cited references). Per the lab report and our searches, the variant has not been reported in association with disease to date. It is not present in ClinVar as of 4/4/2017. There are no other variants at or near this codon reported as pathogenic in ClinVar as of 4/4/2017. Per the Invitae lab report: "Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0")." This is a nonconservative amino acid change, from a positively-charged Arginine to a polar Glutamine. The Arginine at this location is conserved across all mammals, and across all other vertebrates we have information for except for fish, in which it varies widely. The variant was reported online in 15 of 138,135 individuals in the 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, Ashkenazi -
Long QT syndrome Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 2506 of the ANK2 protein (p.Arg2506Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs780131495, gnomAD 0.07%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ANK2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 406493). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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. -
