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]

Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); Missense variants in this gene are often considered pathogenic (Stenson et al., 2014); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 32860008, 28628100, 23934111, 25740509, 29186148, 30440138, 29655203, 30174244) -

The KCNQ2 c.431G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg144Gln. This variant has been documented as de novo in multiple individuals with KCNQ2 related disorders, and functional studies support its pathogenicity (Table S12, Allen et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23934111; Table S4, Geisheker et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28628100; Table S2, Zhu et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 29186148; Table S4, Lindy et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29655203; Yuskaitis et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30174244). At PreventionGenetics, we have observed this variant to have occurred de novo in an individual with neurodevelopmental features and seizures. This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNQ2 function (PMID: 25740509). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 144 of the KCNQ2 protein (p.Arg144Gln). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of KCNQ2-related conditions (PMID: 23934111). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. This variant is also known as chr20:62076674 C>T. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 205864). 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. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
