Genes affected
KCNQ2 (HGNC:6296): (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 2) The M channel is a slowly activating and deactivating potassium channel that plays a critical role in the regulation of neuronal excitability. The M channel is formed by the association of the protein encoded by this gene and a related protein encoded by the KCNQ3 gene, both integral membrane proteins. M channel currents are inhibited by M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and activated by retigabine, a novel anti-convulsant drug. Defects in this gene are a cause of benign familial neonatal convulsions type 1 (BFNC), also known as epilepsy, benign neonatal type 1 (EBN1). At least five transcript variants encoding five different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy Uncertain:1
Jul 03, 2024
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 647 of the KCNQ2 protein (p.Arg647Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs773450069, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 579920). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

De novo variant with confirmed parentage in a patient referred for genetic testing at GeneDx; however, the reported clinical features are only partially consistent with the features typically observed in individuals with pathogenic variants in this gene; In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Missense variants in this gene are often considered pathogenic (HGMD); This substitution is predicted to be within the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -
