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]

p.Pro662Pro in exon 14 of KCNQ4: This variant is not expected to have clinical s ignificance because it been identified in 4% (350/8624) East Asian chromosomes b y the Exome Aggregation Consortium (http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs1916 31836), and because it does not alter an amino acid residue and is not located w ithin the splice consensus sequence. -
