Ambry Genetics RCV000245955 SCV000319980 benign Cardiovascular phenotype 2015-07-28 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.

Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0015 in 281062 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.017 within the African subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 5 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within African control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 243 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in KCNE2 causing Arrhythmia phenotype (7e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African origin. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variant(s) have been reported in an internal sample (KSNH2 c.1841C>T, p.A614V), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. The variant, c.25C>G, has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SIDS (Arnestad_2007) and also in an African American patient that developed QTc prolongation, torsades de pointes (TdP), and ventricular fibrillation after administration of macrolides (Abbott_1999). Functional studies demonstrated that this variant slightly impairs channel function (Lu_2003, Perlstein_2005) and increases the potency of clarithromycin as a hERG channel blocker (Abbott_1999). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Arrhythmia in healthy individuals but suggest that patients with cardiomyopathies carrying this variant may develop macrolide-induced arrhythmia. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and both laboratories classified the variant as benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign until large scale case control studies will be available.

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina RCV001139400 SCV001299547 benign Atrial fibrillation, familial, 4 2017-04-28 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to rule this variant out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as benign.
