RCV000403302 | SCV000330682 | pathogenic | not provided | 2016-07-29 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The c.274dupG variant in the KCNQ2 gene has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reportedas a benign variant to our knowledge. It was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European andAfrican American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant inthese populations. The c.274dupG variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Alanine 92, changes this aminoacid to a Glycine residue and creates a premature Stop codon at position 28 of the new reading frame, denotedp.Ala92GlyfsX28. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncationor nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Additionally, other frameshift variants upstream and downstream of this positionhave been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with KCNQ2-related disorders (Stenson etal., 2014). |
