Genes affected

KCNQ4 (HGNC:6298): (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 4) The protein encoded by this gene forms a potassium channel that is thought to play a critical role in the regulation of neuronal excitability, particularly in sensory cells of the cochlea. The current generated by this channel is inhibited by M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and activated by retigabine, a novel anti-convulsant drug. The encoded protein can form a homomultimeric potassium channel or possibly a heteromultimeric channel in association with the protein encoded by the KCNQ3 gene. Defects in this gene are a cause of nonsyndromic sensorineural deafness type 2 (DFNA2), an autosomal dominant form of progressive hearing loss. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The p.Asp406Asn variant in KCNQ4 has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss, but has been identified in 1/68584 European chromosomes and in 1/16162 Finnish chromosomes and 1/68584 non-Finnish European chromosomes by t he Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Altho ugh this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is not h igh enough to rule out a pathogenic role. Computational prediction tools and con servation analysis suggest that the p.Asp406Asn variant may not impact the prote in, though this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Asp406Asn variant is uncertain. -
