Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Moderate

The NM_172107.4(KCNQ2):​c.848delA​(p.Lys283SerfsTer36) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. K283K) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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 creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys283Serfs*36) in the KCNQ2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in KCNQ2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 14534157, 23692823, 27779742). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KCNQ2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 530425). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
