The NM_001161352.2(KCNMA1):c.3416G>A(p.Arg1139Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000031 in 1,613,874 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
KCNMA1 (HGNC:6284): (potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily M alpha 1) This gene encodes the alpha subunit of calcium-activated BK channel. The encoded protein is involved in several physiological processes including smooth muscle contraction, neurotransmitter release and neuronal excitability. Mutations in this gene are associated with a spectrum of neurological disorders including Paroxysmal Nonkinesigenic Dyskinesia 3, Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy 16 and Liang-Wang syndrome.

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP2
Missense variant in the KCNMA1 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 12 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 25 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 5.0622 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 6.5162 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to cerebellar atrophy, developmental delay, and seizures, generalized epilepsy-paroxysmal dyskinesia syndrome, Liang-Wang syndrome.

This sequence change replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 1081 of the KCNMA1 protein (p.Arg1081Gln). The arginine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between arginine and glutamine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with KCNMA1-related disease. 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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. 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. -
