Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PM4BS2

The NM_020822.3(KCNT1):​c.2170_2184dupCCCTGCGACCTGCTG​(p.Pro724_Leu728dup) variant causes a conservative inframe insertion change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000109 in 1,554,046 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type INS_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. S729S) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

This variant, c.2170_2184dup, results in the insertion of 5 amino acid(s) of the KCNT1 protein (p.Pro724_Leu728dup), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs757605635, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with infantile seizures (PMID: 31388363). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 429344). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The c.2170_2184dup15 variant (also known as p.P724_L728dup), located in coding exon 19 of the KCNT1 gene, results from an in-frame duplication of 15 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 2170 to 2184. This results in the duplication of 5 extra residues (PCDLL) between codons 724 and 728. These amino acid positions are well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis (Choi Y et al., PLoS ONE 2012; 7(10):e46688). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Reported in a patient in published literature with infantile seizures who also harbored another variant in the KCNT1 gene, although familial segregation information was not provided to determine if either variant occurred de novo or to determine if the variants occurred on the same (in cis) or on different (in trans) chromosomes (Passey et al., 2019); Not observed in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In-frame insertion of 5 amino acids in a non-repeat region; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31388363) -
