Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 0P and 2B. BP4_Moderate

The NM_004700.4(KCNQ4):​c.1267A>C​(p.Ser423Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000106 in 1,608,684 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. S423G) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected
KCNQ4 (HGNC:6298): (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 4) The protein encoded by this gene forms a potassium channel that is thought to play a critical role in the regulation of neuronal excitability, particularly in sensory cells of the cochlea. The current generated by this channel is inhibited by M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and activated by retigabine, a novel anti-convulsant drug. The encoded protein can form a homomultimeric potassium channel or possibly a heteromultimeric channel in association with the protein encoded by the KCNQ3 gene. Defects in this gene are a cause of nonsyndromic sensorineural deafness type 2 (DFNA2), an autosomal dominant form of progressive hearing loss. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The Ser423Arg varia nt in KCNQ4 has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss an d was absent from large population studies. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest this variant may not impact the protein, though th is information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, t he clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty; ho wever based upon the computational data, we would lean towards a more likely ben ign role. -
