Genes affected
KCNT1 (HGNC:18865): (potassium sodium-activated channel subfamily T member 1) Potassium channels represent the most complex class of voltage-gated ion channels from both functional and structural standpoints. Their diverse functions include regulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction, and cell volume. This gene encodes a sodium-activated potassium channel subunit which is thought to function in ion conductance and developmental signaling pathways. Mutations in this gene cause the early-onset epileptic disorders, malignant migrating partial seizures of infancy and autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect as the p.A934T variant causes a marked increase in KCNT1 protein function; the mutant channel activates significantly more quickly than wild-type channels with greater current amplitude (Barcia et al., 2012; Milligan et al., 2014; Kim et al., 2014); Not observed in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23599387, 26122718, 23086397, 25482562, 27620904, 26785903, 26441003, 26140313, 26740507, 27779742, 27064559, 29390993, 30182498, 31054490, 31487502, 30847371, 30782581, 31872048, 31532509, 32139178, 24591078, 29100083, 32167590) -

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 934 of the KCNT1 protein (p.Ala934Thr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with early-onset epileptic encephalopathy, including malignant migrating partial seizures of infancy (PMID: 23086397, 25482562, 26122718, 26140313, 26993267). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 39594). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt KCNT1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNT1 function (PMID: 23086397, 24591078). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
