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 Uncertain_significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM4: Nonframeshift variant in NON repetitive region in NM_172107.4. Strenght limited to Supporting due to length of the change: 1aa.

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. This variant, c.346_348del, results in the deletion of 1 amino acid(s) of the KCNQ2 protein (p.Lys116del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of KCNQ2-related conditions (PMID: 18625963). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 21785). Experimental studies have shown that this variant affects KCNQ2 protein function (PMID: 18625963). -
