Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -13 ACMG points: 0P and 13B. BP4_Strong BP7 BS1 BS2

The ENST00000359125.7(KCNQ2):​c.681C>A​(p.Ala227=) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000709 in 1,411,262 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. A227A) 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 Benign. Variant got -13 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.53).
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-1.48 with no splicing effect.
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.00000709 (10/1411262) while in subpopulation EAS AF= 0.000239 (9/37654). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000124. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 6 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position pass quality control queck.
• BS2: High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 10 AD gene.
