Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points: 0P and 1B. BS1_Supporting
The NM_001161352.2(KCNMA1):c.54_56delCGG(p.Gly19del) variant causes a disruptive inframe deletion change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000317 in 1,515,216 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. 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 -1 ACMG points.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.000342 (466/1364006) while in subpopulation AMR AF= 0.000905 (31/34256). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000655. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 233 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

This variant, c.54_56del, results in the deletion of 1 amino acid(s) of the KCNMA1 protein (p.Gly20del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KCNMA1-related conditions. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
