Genes affected
KCNQ4 (HGNC:6298): (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 4) The protein encoded by this gene forms a potassium channel that is thought to play a critical role in the regulation of neuronal excitability, particularly in sensory cells of the cochlea. The current generated by this channel is inhibited by M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and activated by retigabine, a novel anti-convulsant drug. The encoded protein can form a homomultimeric potassium channel or possibly a heteromultimeric channel in association with the protein encoded by the KCNQ3 gene. Defects in this gene are a cause of nonsyndromic sensorineural deafness type 2 (DFNA2), an autosomal dominant form of progressive hearing loss. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The p.Arg339Ser variant in KCNQ4 has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss, but has been identified in 1/105460 European chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs769086004). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, it s frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. Computational pred iction tools and conservation analysis suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogeni city. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Arg339Ser variant is uncert ain. -
