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]

Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This nonsense variant found in exon 15 of 17 is predicted to result in loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). This variant has been previously reported as a heterozygous change in families with benign familial neonatal seizures (PMID: 14534157, 31199083, 26993267, 25982755). It is absent from the gnomAD population database and thus is presumed to be rare. Based on the available evidence, the c.1741C>T (p.Arg581Ter) variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0103 - Dominant negative and loss of function are known mechanisms of disease in this gene and are associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 7 (DEE; MIM#613720) and benign neonatal seizures 1 (BFNS1; MIM#121200), respectively (PMID: 20437616). There is currently no phenotypic correlation in terms of variant types or location (PMID: 31418850). (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. (I) 0112 - The condition associated with this gene has incomplete penetrance; however, this is only reported for individuals with BFNS1 (PMID: 25959266). (I) 0201 - Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein (premature termination codon is located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0302 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v3) <0.001 for a dominant condition (1 heterozygote, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0701 - Other NMD-predicted variants comparable to the one identified in this case have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity (DECIPHER). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been classified as pathogenic by multiple clinical laboratories in ClinVar and has been observed in families with benign familial neonatal seizures (PMIDs: 25982755, 31199083). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This nonsense variant found in exon 15 of 17 is predicted to result in loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). This variant has been previously reported as a heterozygous change, predominantly inherited from an affected parent but also as a de novo change, in individuals with neonatal seizures (PMID: 14534157, 31199083, 26993267, 25982755, 19380078, 32863083, 34153113). It is absent from the gnomAD population database and thus is presumed to be rare. Analysis of the maternal sample was negative for the c.1741C>T (p.Arg581Ter) variant. Based on the available evidence, the c.1741C>T (p.Arg581Ter) variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg581*) in the KCNQ2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in KCNQ2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 14534157, 23692823, 27779742). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with benign familial neonatal seizures (PMID: 14534157, 25982755, 26993267). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 21768). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
