Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PP1_Strong PS3_Supporting PM2 PM1 PM5 PS4_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The p.Gly285Ser variant in the KCNQ4 gene was absent from the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org) (PM2). The p.Gly285Ser variant has been reported to segregate with hearing loss in at least 16 family members (PP1_S; PMIDs: 10025409, 25116015). The variant meets PM2 and has been observed in at least 2 affected probands (PS4_P, PMID:10025409, Partners LMM internal data SCV000198442.4). A different pathogenic missense variant (p.Gly285Cys) has been previously identified at this codon of KCNQ4 which may indicate that this residue is critical to the function of the protein (PM5; ClinVar Variation ID 6244, PMID:10369879). Furthermore, the variant is in a location that has been defined by the ClinGen Hearing Loss Expert Panel to be a mutational hotspot or domain of KCNQ4 (PM1; PMID:23717403; https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P56696). A functional study demonstrates that this variant may impact protein function (PS3_P; PMID:10025409, 18786918). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the Hearing Loss Expert Panel: PM2, PP1_S, PS4_P, PM5, PM1, PS3_P.

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]
