Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points: 3P and 4B. PM1PP3BS2

The NM_004700.4(KCNQ4):c.832A>G(p.Thr278Ala) variant causes a missense, splice region change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000062 in 1,613,312 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. T278T) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]

The p.Thr278Ala variant in KCNQ4 has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss, but has been identified in 1/33578 Latino chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/; dbSNP r s763326539). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. Computational predic tion tools and conservation analysis do not provide strong support for or agains t an impact to the protein. This variant is located in the last three bases of t he exon, which is part of the 5? splice region. Computational tools do not sugge st an impact to splicing. However, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Thr278Ala variant is uncertain. -
