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:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 855 of the KCNQ2 protein (p.Ser855Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs12481082, gnomAD 0.0009%). 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: 21780). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

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

The majority of missense variants in this gene are considered pathogenic (Stenson et al., 2014); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; Predicted to be within the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge
