Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 19 ACMG points: 19P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_172107.4(KCNQ2):c.430C>G(p.Arg144Gly) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R144W) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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 19 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 8 uncertain in NM_172107.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr20-63445321-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 205864.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, KCNQ2
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.944
• PP5: Variant 20-63445322-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr20-63445322-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 520399.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine, Rady Children's Hospital San Diego	-	This variant has been previously reported as heterozygous, unknown inheritance, in a patient with Rett-like syndrome (PMID: 31105003). Two other missense changes affecting the same amino acid residue have been reported as de novo changes in patients with neurodevelopmental disorders (c.430C>T (p.Arg144Trp); PMID: 28628100) and seizure disorders including epileptic encephalopathy and infantile spasms (c.431G>A (p.Arg144Gln); PMID: 23934111, 29186148, 30174244). It is absent from the gnomAD population database and thus is presumed to be rare. The c.430C>G (p.Arg144Gly) variant affects a highly conserved amino acid and is predicted by multiple in silico tools to have a deleterious effect on protein function. Analysis of the parental samples was negative for the variant, indicating this variant likely occurred as a de novo event. Based on the available evidence, the c.430C>G (p.Arg144Gly) variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Dec 06, 2019	The KCNQ2 c.430C>G (p.Arg144Gly) variant is a missense variant that has been reported in a heterozygous state in one affected individual with a Rett-like phenotype (Vidal et al. 2019). The affected individual is specifically noted to have psychomotor delay and intellectual disability, but no developmental regression or breathing problems; no additional phenotypes were described. The p.Arg144Gly variant is not found in the Genome Aggregation Database despite good sequence coverage, so the variant is presumed to be rare. Two additional variants at the Arg144 residue have been described in literature, including p.Arg144Gln in an infant who presented with infantile spasms without seizures, global developmental delays, poor eye contact, no speech, inability to walk, and bilateral enlarged kidneys were also noted (Epi4K Consortium et al. 2013). The second variant at the Arg144 residue was identified in an affected individual with intellectual disability, but no additional phenotypes were described (Lelieveld et al. 2016). The p.Arg144Gly variant is located in the third segment of the transmembrane domain (Vidal et al. 2019). Based on the de novo state, absence from population frequency databases, and additional clinical evidence for the Arg144 residue, the p.Arg144Gly variant is classified as likely pathogenic for KCNQ2-related disorders. -
