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]

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The p.Ile537Met var iant in KCNQ4 has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss or in large population studies. The isoleucine (Ile) at position 527 is not cons erved in mammals or evolutionary distant species, supporting that a change at th is position may be tolerated. Additional computational prediction tools do not p rovide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, while the clinical significance of the p.Ile537Met variant is uncertain, the conserva tion data suggest that it is more likely to be benign. -
