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 Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM4: Frameshift in the end of transcript resulting in stoplost. Downstream stopcodon found after 873 codons.
• PP5: Variant 20-63406665-GC-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr20-63406665-GC-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 21781.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

The c.2597delG pathogenic variant in the KCNQ2 gene, reported as c.2513delG due to use of alternative nomenclature, has been identified in multiple individuals in a single family with benign familial neonatal seizures (Lerche et al., 1999). The deletion causes a frameshift starting with codon Glycine 866, changes this amino acid to an Alanine residue and creates a premature Stop codon at position 64 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Gly866AlafsX64. This pathogenic variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Functional studies suggest that c.2597delG has a damaging effect on the protein (Lerche et al., 1999; Su et al., 2011). -
