Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_172107.4(KCNQ2):c.439del(p.Ala147ProfsTer24) variant causes a frameshift change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. A147A) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 20-63445312-GC-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr20-63445312-GC-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 530406.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in KCNQ2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 14534157). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with KCNQ2-related disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ala147Profs*24) in the KCNQ2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
