Genes affected
KCNQ3 (HGNC:6297): (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 3) This gene encodes a protein that functions in the regulation of neuronal excitability. The encoded protein forms an M-channel by associating with the products of the related KCNQ2 or KCNQ5 genes, which both encode integral membrane proteins. M-channel currents are inhibited by M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and are activated by retigabine, a novel anti-convulsant drug. Defects in this gene are a cause of benign familial neonatal convulsions type 2 (BFNC2), also known as epilepsy, benign neonatal type 2 (EBN2). Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg227*) in the KCNQ3 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with KCNQ3-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 205961). Loss-of-function variants in KCNQ3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 29383681, 29852413). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

p.Arg227Stop (CGA>TGA): c.679 C>T in exon 4 of the KCNQ3 gene (NM_004519.2) The Arg227Stop nonsense mutation in the KCNQ3 gene is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. It was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. This mutation has not been reported previously to our knowledge. The variant is found in INFANT-EPI panel(s). -
