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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMay 11, 2017A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the KCNT1 gene. The c.1077_1078delAG variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. The c.1077_1078delAG variant is observed in 1/8544 (0.01%) alleles from individuals of East Asian background (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). The c.1077_1078delAG variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Glycine 361, changes this amino acid to a Glutamine residue and creates a premature Stop codon at position 134 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Gly361GlnfsX134. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. However, only missense variants have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with KCNT1-related disorders (Stenson et al., 2014). Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -
Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsSep 21, 2018The c.1077_1078delAG variant, located in coding exon 12 of the KCNT1 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 1077 to 1078, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.G361Qfs*134). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Based on data from gnomAD, this alteration has an overall frequency of approximately 0.007% (20/276676) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.098% (10/10124) of Ashkenazi Jewish alleles. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. However, loss of function of KCNT1 has not been clearly established as a mechanism of disease. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
