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]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 1200 of the KCNT1 protein (p.Arg1200Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs372028322, gnomAD 0.04%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KCNT1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 279822). 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) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on KCNT1 protein function. 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.

The R1200C variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. The R1200C variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species and in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. However, missense variants in nearby residues have not been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with KCNT1-related disease (Stenson et al., 2014). Additionally, the R1200C variant was not observed with any significant frequency in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project; but the 1000 Genomes Project reports R1200C was observed in 2/206 (1.0%) alleles from individuals of Gujarati Indian background, indicating it may be a rare (benign) variant in this population. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant.
