Invitae RCV000560721 SCV000633753 pathogenic Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy with suppression bursts 2017-06-03 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing exons 6-17 of the KCNQ2 gene. The 5' boundary is likely confined to intron 5. The 3' end of this event is unknown as it extends through the termination codon beyond the assayed region for this gene and may encompass additional genes. While this deletion is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to create a truncated protein product or disrupt mRNA translation. This particular deletion has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a KCNQ2-related disease.  However, other deletions that truncate the protein, including deletion of exons 9-17 and exons 13-17, have been reported to segregate with disease in families affected with benign familial neonatal seizures (PMID: 9425895, 14534157, 23360469). This suggests that deletion of this region of the KCNQ2 protein is causative of disease. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
