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 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Start lost variant, no new inframe start found.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 20-63472462-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr20-63472462-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 21783.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Arg144 amino acid residue in KCNQ2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 23934111, 25740509). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 21783). Disruption of the initiator codon has been observed in individual(s) with familial neonatal seizures (PMID: 14985406, 25982755; Invitae). 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 affects the initiator methionine of the KCNQ2 mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 174. -
