Genes affected
KCNQ2 (HGNC:6296): (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 2) The M channel is a slowly activating and deactivating potassium channel that plays a critical role in the regulation of neuronal excitability. The M channel is formed by the association of the protein encoded by this gene and a related protein encoded by the KCNQ3 gene, both integral membrane proteins. M channel currents are inhibited by M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and activated by retigabine, a novel anti-convulsant drug. Defects in this gene are a cause of benign familial neonatal convulsions type 1 (BFNC), also known as epilepsy, benign neonatal type 1 (EBN1). At least five transcript variants encoding five different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

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

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 280043). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KCNQ2-related conditions. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Pro410Argfs*30) in the KCNQ2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in KCNQ2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 14534157, 23692823, 27779742). -

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

The c.1229delC pathogenic variant in the KCNQ2 gene has been reported previously in association with neonatal convulsions (Volkers et al., 2009). Due to use of alternative nomenclature, this variant was reported as P410fs12X in this study (Volkers et al., 2009). Functional studies show that this variant impairs the function as well as trafficking of the KCNQ2 protein (Volkers et al., 2009). The deletion causes a frameshift starting with codon Proline 410, changes this amino acid to an Arginine residue and creates a premature Stop codon at position 30 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Pro410ArgfsX30. This pathogenic variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Additionally, it was not observed in approximately 6,300 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. -
