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 hotspot region, there are 13 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 5 uncertain in NM_172107.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, KCNQ2
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.955
• PP5: Variant 20-63433897-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr20-63433897-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 369777.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr20-63433897-A-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNQ2 function (PMID: 24375629, 26073431, 34020651). 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 369777). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with KCNQ2-related conditions (PMID: 24375629). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 344 of the KCNQ2 protein (p.Trp344Arg). -
