Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points: 3P and 4B. PM2 PP2 BP4_Strong

The NM_172107.4(KCNQ2):c.2602G>C(p.Ala868Pro) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. A868A) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

KCNQ2 (HGNC:6296): (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 2) The M channel is a slowly activating and deactivating potassium channel that plays a critical role in the regulation of neuronal excitability. The M channel is formed by the association of the protein encoded by this gene and a related protein encoded by the KCNQ3 gene, both integral membrane proteins. M channel currents are inhibited by M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and activated by retigabine, a novel anti-convulsant drug. Defects in this gene are a cause of benign familial neonatal convulsions type 1 (BFNC), also known as epilepsy, benign neonatal type 1 (EBN1). At least five transcript variants encoding five different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, KCNQ2
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.06590423).

The A868P variant in the KCNQ2 gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The A868P variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). The A868P variant is a semi-conservative amino acid substitution, which may impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in some properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is not conserved and is predicted to be within the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain. In silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. We interpret A868P as a variant of uncertain significance. -
