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]

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 sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 680 of the KCNQ4 protein (p.Ser680Phe). This variant is present in population databases (rs772135867, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant deafness (PMID: 23451214). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as c.1877C>T. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 208373). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt KCNQ4 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect KCNQ4 function (PMID: 31995783).
