GeneDx RCV000187868 SCV000241468 pathogenic not provided 2022-03-09 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The majority of missense variants in this gene are considered pathogenic (HGMD); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22926866, 23621294, 28867141, 30185235, 31036916, 31418850, 32362866, 32139178, 32917465, 33098118, 32712949, 31785789, 27602407)

Ambry Genetics RCV002316289 SCV000850924 likely pathogenic Inborn genetic diseases 2017-05-01 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.A265V variant (also known as c.794C>T), located in coding exon 5 of the KCNQ2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 794. The alanine at codon 265 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant as been observed de novo in unrelated patients with early onset epileptic encephalopathy (Saitsu H et al. Ann. Neurol., 2012 Aug;72:298-300; Milh M et al. Am. J. Med. Genet. A, 2015 Oct;167A:2314-8). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic.
Center for Genomics, Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago RCV000768250 SCV000898776 likely pathogenic Seizures, benign familial neonatal, 1; Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 7 2021-11-11 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing KCNQ2 NM_172107 exon 5 p.Ala265Val (c.794C>T): This variant has been reported in the literature in at least 2 individuals (1 with early onset epileptic encephalopathy and 1 with Ohtahara syndrome), both of whom were reported as de novo (Saitsu 2012 PMID:2292866, Kato 2013 PMID:23621294). This variant is not present in large control databases. This variant is present in ClinVar (Variation ID:120176). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools suggest that this variant may impact the protein. Of note, other variants at this position (p.Ala265Thr, p.Ala265Pro) have been reported in association with disease, suggesting that this codon has functional significance. In summary, data on this variant is highly suspicious for disease, but requires further evidence for pathogenicity. Therefore, this variant classified as likely pathogenic.

Invitae RCV001056302 SCV001220740 pathogenic Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy with suppression bursts 2023-06-25 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Ala265 amino acid residue in KCNQ2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 22275249, 23692823, 27535030, 27602407, 27779742). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt KCNQ2 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 120176). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with early onset epileptic encephalopathy (PMID: 22926866, 30185235). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 265 of the KCNQ2 protein (p.Ala265Val).
Molecular Genetics, Royal Melbourne Hospital RCV000106299 SCV002498638 pathogenic Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 7 2021-10-01 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change in KCNQ2 is predicted to replace alanine with valine at codon 265 (p.(Ala265Val)). The alanine residue is highly conserved (100 vertebrates, UCSC), and is located in the transmembrane ion transport domain in a region, amino acids 1-369, that is highly constrained. There is a moderate physicochemical difference between alanine and valine. This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v3.1. This variant has been identified as a de novo occurrence with confirmed parental relationships in 3 individuals and as a de novo occurrence with unconfirmed parental relationships in 2 individuals with Ohtahara syndrome or undetermined neonatal epileptic encephalopathy (NEE; PMID: 22926866, 23621294, 25959266, 32362866, 34354098). It has also been identified in 2 individuals with NEE and unknown de novo status (PMID: 25959266, 34395220). Multiple lines of computational evidence have conflicting predictions for the missense substitution (4/6 algorithms predict deleterious). Another missense variant c.793G>A, p.Ala265Thr in the same codon has been classified as pathogenic for NEE (ClinVar Variation ID: 197891). Based on the classification scheme RMH Modified ACMG Guidelines v1.4.0, this variant is classified as PATHOGENIC. Following criteria are met: PS2/PM6_Strong, PM1, PM5, PS4_Supporting, PM2_Supporting.
