Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Moderate PP5_Moderate

The NM_172107.4(KCNQ2):​c.943G>A​(p.Gly315Arg) 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. 13/23 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G315W) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a helix (size 41) in uniprot entity KCNQ2_HUMAN there are 12 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_172107.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr20-63438705-C-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].
• 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 seizures, benign familial neonatal, 1, neonatal-onset developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, benign familial neonatal-infantile seizures, benign neonatal seizures, malignant migrating partial seizures of infancy, neonatal encephalopathy with non-epileptic myoclonus, complex neurodevelopmental disorder, seizures, benign familial neonatal, 2, developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 7, benign familial infantile epilepsy.
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 20-63438705-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr20-63438705-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1962872.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt KCNQ2 protein function. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (PMID: 27535030). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 315 of the KCNQ2 protein (p.Gly315Arg). -
