RCV001067168 | SCV001232211 | uncertain significance | Andersen Tawil syndrome; Short QT syndrome type 3 | 2019-01-09 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | 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 disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with KCNJ2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 222676). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces aspartic acid with histidine at codon 71 of the KCNJ2 protein (p.Asp71His). The aspartic acid residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between aspartic acid and histidine. 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 disrupts the p.Asp71 amino acid residue in KCNJ2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with KCNJ2-related conditions (PMID: 11371347, 12796536, 14522976, 12163457, 22186697), suggesting that it is a clinically significant residue. As a result, variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be causative of disease. |
