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]

Initiation codon variant in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Reported in patients with features consistent with KCNQ2-related epilepsy in published literature (PMID: 14985406, 25959266, 38814296); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25982755, 27602407, 14985406, 19380078, 20437616, 25959266, 31440721, 38814296) -

This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the KCNQ2 mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 174. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of the initiator codon has been observed in individual(s) with benign familial neonatal seizures (PMID: 14985406, 25982755). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 21774). This variant disrupts the p.Arg144 amino acid residue in KCNQ2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 23934111, 25740509). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
