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]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 553 of the KCNQ2 protein (p.Arg553Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs759584387, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with early infantile epileptic encephalopathy and benign neonatal seizures (PMID: 23621294, 27535030). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 205913). 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. This variant disrupts the p.Arg553 amino acid residue in KCNQ2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 23621294). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
