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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 1-40784200-C-CG is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-40784200-C-CG is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 3343127.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Uncertain_significance=1, Pathogenic=1}.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly38Argfs*198) in the KCNQ4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in KCNQ4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23717403). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate insufficient coverage at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KCNQ4-related conditions. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
