RCV000254881 | SCV000321805 | pathogenic | not provided | 2015-09-24 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The W476R pathogenic variant in the KCNT1 gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The W476R variant 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. The W476R variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which occurs at a position that is conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Missense variants in nearby residues (R474C, R474H) have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with malignant migrating partial seizures in infancy (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. We interpret W476R as a pathogenic variant. |
