Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP2 PP3_Moderate

The NM_172107.4(KCNQ2):​c.1109C>G​(p.Pro370Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. P370T) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 13 uncertain in NM_172107.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the KCNQ2 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 319 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 78 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 4.0411 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 3.6968 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to benign familial infantile epilepsy, malignant migrating partial seizures of infancy, developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 7, benign familial neonatal-infantile seizures, benign neonatal seizures, neonatal-onset developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, complex neurodevelopmental disorder, seizures, benign familial neonatal, 2, seizures, benign familial neonatal, 1, neonatal encephalopathy with non-epileptic myoclonus.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.88

In summary, this variant is a novel missense change with uncertain impact on protein function. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on mRNA splicing suggest that this variant may alter mRNA splicing, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a KCNQ2-related disease. This sequence change replaces proline with arginine at codon 370 of the KCNQ2 protein (p.Pro370Arg). The proline residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between proline and arginine.
