Genes affected

KCNT1 (HGNC:18865): (potassium sodium-activated channel subfamily T member 1) Potassium channels represent the most complex class of voltage-gated ion channels from both functional and structural standpoints. Their diverse functions include regulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction, and cell volume. This gene encodes a sodium-activated potassium channel subunit which is thought to function in ion conductance and developmental signaling pathways. Mutations in this gene cause the early-onset epileptic disorders, malignant migrating partial seizures of infancy and autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]

Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago	Mar 30, 2021	KCNT1 NM_020822.2 exon 11 p.Gly288Ser (c.862G>A): This variant has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with epilepsy including MMPSI, ADNFLE and hypomyelinating leukodystrophy, several of whom were reported to be de novo (Selected publications: Ishii 2013 PMID:24029708, Kim 2014 PMID:25482562, Arai-Ichinoi 2016 PMID:26597493, Rizzo 2016 PMID:26784557, Liu 2018 PMID:30185235, Routier 2019 PMID:31170314).This variant is not present in large control database but is present in ClinVar, with several labs classifying this variant as pathogenic (Variation ID:126421). Evolutionary conservation supports that this variant may impact the protein; computational predictive tools are unclear. Additionally, in vitro functional studies also suggest that this variant will impact the protein's activity (Kim 2014 PMID:25482562, Rizzo 2016 PMID:26784557). In summary, this variant is classified as pathogenic based on the data above. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jan 22, 2024	This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 288 of the KCNT1 protein (p.Gly288Ser). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with epilepsy, most of whom displayed malignant migrating partial seizures in infancy (PMID: 24029078, 26122718, 26140313, 26597493). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 126421). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on KCNT1 protein function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

This variant is a recurrent gain of function alteration at a CG dinucleotide sequence in the pore region of the KCNT1 channel. The c.862G>A variant has been reported either as a de novo change or with unknown inheritance in several children with typical migrating malignant partial seizures in infancy (MMPSI) (PMID: 24029078, 26122718, 26140313, 30185235, 26993267, 25482562). Severe delayed myelination was reported in three of these patients (PMID: 26597493, 25482562). Two of these children had seizures that were initially resistant to different drugs, and responded to vagus nerve stimulation or clorazepate (PMID: 24029078). The c.862G>A, p.Gly288Ser variant was also identified in a child with autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (ADNFLE) (PMID: 25482562). Other KCNT1 missense variants, including a recurrent c.1283G>A alteration identified in three sporadic cases, are located at CG dinucleotides, suggesting that the CpG dinucleotide at these various KCNT1 positions, may be hot spots for point mutations. Functional characterization of the c.862G>A, p.Gly288Ser alteration using heterologous systems showed an increased KCNT1 current (PMID: 26784557, 25482562). The c.862G>A, p.Gly288Ser is absent from the ExAC and gnomAD population databases and thus is presumed to be rare. In addition, it affects a highly conserved amino acid and is predicted to have a deleterious effect on protein function by the majority of in silico tools used for the analysis. The c.862G>A, p.Gly288Ser variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 126421). Based on the available evidence, the c.862G>A, p.Gly288Ser variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
