Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Moderate

The NM_172107.4(KCNQ2):​c.1658G>T​(p.Arg553Leu) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R553W) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr20-63413556-G-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].
• PP2: Missense variant in gene, where missense usually causes diseases (based on misZ statistic), KCNQ2. . Gene score misZ 4.0411 (greater than the threshold 3.09). Trascript score misZ 3.6968 (greater than threshold 3.09). GenCC has associacion of gene with seizures, benign familial neonatal, 1, neonatal-onset developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, benign familial neonatal-infantile seizures, benign neonatal seizures, malignant migrating partial seizures of infancy, neonatal encephalopathy with non-epileptic myoclonus, complex neurodevelopmental disorder, seizures, benign familial neonatal, 2, developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 7, benign familial infantile epilepsy.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.956
• PP5: Variant 20-63413555-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr20-63413555-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 369805.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

The R553L missense variant in the KCNQ2 gene has been reported previously as de novo in apatient with Ohtahara syndrome (Kato et al., 2013). It was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals ofEuropean and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not acommon benign variant in these populations. The R553L variant is a non-conservative amino acidsubstitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge,size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. Differentmissense variants in the same residue (R553W, R553Q) as well as multiple missense variants in nearbyresidues have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with KCNQ2-relateddisorders (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. Therefore,R553L is considered a pathogenic variant. -
