The NM_001161352.2(KCNMA1):c.*1633C>T variant causes a 3 prime UTR change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000244 in 985,024 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign 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 Likely_benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.93).
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.0000657 (10/152112) while in subpopulation EAS AF= 0.00135 (7/5176). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000634. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 4 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 31. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -
