Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM2PP2
The NM_001161352.2(KCNMA1):c.469G>C(p.Gly157Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
KCNMA1 (HGNC:6284): (potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily M alpha 1) This gene encodes the alpha subunit of calcium-activated BK channel. The encoded protein is involved in several physiological processes including smooth muscle contraction, neurotransmitter release and neuronal excitability. Mutations in this gene are associated with a spectrum of neurological disorders including Paroxysmal Nonkinesigenic Dyskinesia 3, Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy 16 and Liang-Wang syndrome.

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP2
Missense variant in the KCNMA1 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 12 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 25 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 5.0622 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 6.5162 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to cerebellar atrophy, developmental delay, and seizures, generalized epilepsy-paroxysmal dyskinesia syndrome, Liang-Wang syndrome.

Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). 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. This sequence change replaces glycine with arginine at codon 157 of the KCNMA1 protein (p.Gly157Arg). The glycine residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between glycine and arginine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with KCNMA1-related disease. -
