Genes affected
KCNQ3 (HGNC:6297): (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 3) This gene encodes a protein that functions in the regulation of neuronal excitability. The encoded protein forms an M-channel by associating with the products of the related KCNQ2 or KCNQ5 genes, which both encode integral membrane proteins. M-channel currents are inhibited by M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and are activated by retigabine, a novel anti-convulsant drug. Defects in this gene are a cause of benign familial neonatal convulsions type 2 (BFNC2), also known as epilepsy, benign neonatal type 2 (EBN2). Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points.

BP3
Nonframeshift variant in repetitive region in NM_004519.4
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population sas. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.0000179 (19/1063240) while in subpopulation SAS AF = 0.000576 (12/20818). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000332. There are 1 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 10 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KCNQ3-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant, c.41_49del, results in the deletion of 3 amino acid(s) of the KCNQ3 protein (p.Gly14_Gly16del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. -
