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]

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in KCNQ3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 29383681, 29852413). 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). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). 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. -

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). -
