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 15 ACMG points.

The KCNQ2 c.587C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala196Val. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with KCNQ2 related disorders (Zara et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23360469; Carvill et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23708187; Bennett et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28717674). It has been documented as a de novo finding, and functional studies support its pathogenicity (Soldovieri et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17475800; Wang et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32411386; Jiang et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 34489640). 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. -

This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with benign familial neonatal seizures and early onset epileptic encephalopathy (PMID: 17475800, 23360469, 23708187). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. 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 alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 196 of the KCNQ2 protein (p.Ala196Val). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 21792). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KCNQ2 function (PMID: 17475800). 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. -
