Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 19 ACMG points: 19P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_172107.4(KCNQ2):​c.917C>A​(p.Ala306Glu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A306T) has been classified as Pathogenic.

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 Pathogenic. Variant got 19 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a helix (size 41) in uniprot entity KCNQ2_HUMAN there are 12 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_172107.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr20-63439609-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• PP2: Missense variant in the KCNQ2 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 319 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 78 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 4.0411 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 3.6968 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to seizures, benign familial neonatal, 1, neonatal-onset developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, benign familial neonatal-infantile seizures, benign neonatal seizures, malignant migrating partial seizures of infancy, neonatal encephalopathy with non-epileptic myoclonus, complex neurodevelopmental disorder, seizures, benign familial neonatal, 2, developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 7, benign familial infantile epilepsy.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.98
• PP5: Variant 20-63439608-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr20-63439608-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1066055.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 306 of the KCNQ2 protein (p.Ala306Glu). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Ala306 amino acid residue in KCNQ2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9425895, 14534157, 24375629, 25959266, 26704558, 27535030, 29390993). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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 expected to disrupt KCNQ2 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1066055). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KCNQ2-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). -
