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

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -9 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.012645632).
BP6
Variant 1-40818518-C-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr1-40818518-C-G is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 21424.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.000138 (21/152266) while in subpopulation EAS AF = 0.00408 (21/5148). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00273. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 12 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.
