Genes affected

KCNN2 (HGNC:6291): (potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily N member 2) Action potentials in vertebrate neurons are followed by an afterhyperpolarization (AHP) that may persist for several seconds and may have profound consequences for the firing pattern of the neuron. Each component of the AHP is kinetically distinct and is mediated by different calcium-activated potassium channels. The protein encoded by this gene is activated before membrane hyperpolarization and is thought to regulate neuronal excitability by contributing to the slow component of synaptic AHP. This gene is a member of the KCNN family of potassium channel genes. The encoded protein is an integral membrane protein that forms a voltage-independent calcium-activated channel with three other calmodulin-binding subunits. Alternate splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 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

The KCNN2 c.-149_-143dup7 variant is located in the 5' untranslated region. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature or in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. Of note, with a new version of this isoform (NM_021614.4) this variant is referred to as c.488_494dup p.Ser168Argfs*117 and predicted to result in premature termination in the first exon. Other variants predicted to result in loss-of-function have been reported, but all occur downstream of this variant (Mochel. 2020. PubMed ID: 33242881). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
