Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM2PM5PP2PP3_ModeratePP5
The NM_172107.4(KCNQ2):c.1076C>T(p.Thr359Met) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,512 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. T359K) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Submissions by phenotype
Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy with suppression bursts Pathogenic:1
This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 359 of the KCNQ2 protein (p.Thr359Met). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KCNQ2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 976330). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt KCNQ2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Thr359 amino acid residue in KCNQ2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 19559753; internal data). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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. -
Seizures, benign familial neonatal, 1 Pathogenic:1

not provided Pathogenic:1
Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); Missense variants in this gene are often considered pathogenic (Stenson et al., 2014); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -
KCNQ2-related disorder Uncertain:1
The KCNQ2 c.1076C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Thr359Met. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature or in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating it is rare. KCNQ2 is generally intolerant to missense variation (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), and different missense variants affecting the same amino acid have been reported in association with seizure disorders (p.Thr359Lys, Volkers L et al 2009. PubMed ID: 19559753; p.Thr359Ala, Lindy et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29655203, Table S4). Taken together, although we suspect that the c.1076C>T (p.Thr359Met) variant may be pathogenic, at this time, the clinical significance is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
