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 13 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the KCNQ2 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 319 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 78 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 4.0411 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 3.6968 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to 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, 0.848
• PP5: Variant 20-63438654-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr20-63438654-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 461424.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The p.R332G variant (also known as c.994A>G), located in coding exon 7 of the KCNQ2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 994. The arginine at codon 332 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant has been determined to be the result of a de novo mutation in one individual with neonatal epileptic encephalopathy in our laboratory. However, the possibility of mosaicism, including in the germline of this individual's parent, could not be ruled out. This variant was not reported in population based cohorts in the following databases: NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), 1000 Genomes Project, ExAC, and gnomAD. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

In summary, this variant is a novel missense change that has been shown to arise de novo in an affected individual. This evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data is needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a KCNQ2-related disease. This sequence change replaces arginine with glycine at codon 332 of the KCNQ2 protein (p.Arg332Gly). The arginine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between arginine and glycine. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). Family studies have indicated that this variant was not present in the parents of an individual with generalized epilepsy , which suggests that it was de novo in that affected individual (Invitae). -
