Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV001063168 SCV001228003 pathogenic Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy with suppression bursts 2024-04-27 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 281 of the KCNQ2 protein (p.Gly281Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with early onset epileptic encephalopathies (PMID: 24107868, 25590979, 28133863, 30109124). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 198284). 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 with a positive predictive value of 95%. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina RCV003985079 SCV004801521 pathogenic KCNQ2-related disorder 2020-09-29 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The KCNQ2 c.841G>A (p.Gly281Arg) variant is a missense variant that has been reported in a heterozygous state in at least five individuals with early onset epileptic encephalopathy; in at least four of these cases, the variant arose de novo (Weckhuysen et al. 2013; Zhu et al. 2015; Olson et al. 2017; Butler et al. 2017; Ostrander et al. 2018). The p.Gly281Arg variant is not found in the Genome Aggregation Database. This variant alters a conserved residue within the pore-forming intramembrane domain between the S5 and S6 transmembrane domains and is also within a 6-residue span thought to function as the selectivity filter. Multiple missense changes within this region have been reported as pathogenic, including another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid change as well as two additional amino acid changes at the same position (Landrum et al. 2015). Based on the collective evidence, the c.841G>A (p.Gly281Arg) variant is classified a pathogenic for KCNQ2-related disorders.
