In a small-scale screen, several mutant lines conferring a low threshold to ECT minimal clonic seizures were mapped to the telomeric region of mouse chromosome 2 in independent founder families. Genetic and physical mapping data indicated that several lines shared a single mutation, Szt1 (seizure threshold-1), consisting of a 300-kb deletion of genomic DNA involving 3 known genes. Two of these genes, Kcnq2 and Chrna4 (<a href="/entry/118504">118504</a>), are known to be mutated in human epilepsy families. Szt1 homozygotes and heterozygotes displayed similar phenotypes to those found in the respective Kcnq2 knockout mutant mice, suggesting that Kcnq2 haploinsufficiency may lie at the root of the Szt1 seizure sensitivity. <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?cmd=link&linkname=pubmed_pubmed&from_uid=12700166" target="_blank" onclick="gtag('event', 'mim_outbound', {'name': 'PubMed Related', 'domain': 'pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov'})"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus-sign mim-tip-hint" title="Click this 'reference-plus' icon to see articles related to this paragraph in PubMed."></span></a></p>

The mutation is located in a highly conserved region within alpha-helix B that is necessary for calmodulin binding. Functional expression studies showed that the K526N mutation decreased the voltage-dependence of the channel. Although 2 patients had a phenotype consistent with typical BFNS, the other 2 patients had a complex phenotype that was atypical and severe, consistent with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE7; <a href="/entry/613720">613720</a>).

The authors postulated that the phenotypic variability could be due to the interplay of pathogenic mutations, modifier genes, and more subtle environmental factors. <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?cmd=link&linkname=pubmed_pubmed&from_uid=15249611" target="_blank" onclick="gtag('event', 'mim_outbound', {'name': 'PubMed Related', 'domain': 'pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov'})"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus-sign mim-tip-hint" title="Click this 'reference-plus' icon to see articles related to this paragraph in PubMed."></span></a></p>

The resultant mutant protein lacks the S4 domain, which is critical for voltage sensing. In vitro functional expression studies showed that the mutant KCNQ2 subunit was unable to form functional homomeric potassium channels, suggesting haploinsufficiency rather than a dominant-negative effect. One affected family member developed severe epilepsy associated with mild mental retardation and persistent neurologic problems in adult life; this phenotypic variability was considered by the authors to be consistent with the fact that 10 to 15% of BFNS individuals experience seizure manifestations later in life. <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?cmd=link&linkname=pubmed_pubmed&from_uid=16235065" target="_blank" onclick="gtag('event', 'mim_outbound', {'name': 'PubMed Related', 'domain': 'pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov'})"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus-sign mim-tip-hint" title="Click this 'reference-plus' icon to see articles related to this paragraph in PubMed."></span></a></p>

<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>In the course of a search for the mutational basis of benign familial neonatal seizures (BFNS1; 121200) mapping to chromosome 20, Singh et al. (1998) identified a novel voltage-gated potassium channel gene that showed significant homology to KVLQT1 (also known as KCNQ1 and KCNA9), the chromosome 11 potassium channel gene responsible for long QT syndrome-1 (192500) and a form of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen cardioauditory syndrome (220400). A single cDNA isolated with the D20S24 probe in this region showed significant homology with KVLQT1. Singh et al. (1998) found that the KCNQ2 cDNA hybridized to transcripts of approximately 1.5, 3.8, and 9.5 kb on Northern blots made from brain. </p><p>By positional cloning from the 20q13.3 region where 1 form of benign familial neonatal seizures is known to map, Biervert et al. (1998) independently isolated the KCNQ2 gene and found that it was expressed in brain. </p><p>Yang et al. (1998) described the cloning, tissue distribution, and functional expression of KCNQ2 and KCNQ3 (602232), both of which are associated with benign neonatal epilepsy. The deduced 871-amino acid KCNQ2 protein has features of a voltage-gated potassium channel. Northern blot analysis of 8 human tissues detected an 8.5-kb KCNQ2 transcript in brain only. Within brain, highest expression of KCNQ2 was detected in cerebellar cortex, amygdala, caudate nucleus, and hippocampus. </p>

<p>Biervert and Steinlein (1999) determined that the KCNQ2 gene has at least 18 exons, occupying more than 50 kb of genomic DNA. Splice variants were identified. For example, in fetal brain, exon 8 was absent in all transcripts, while this exon was present in clones derived from adult brain RNA. </p>

<strong>Gene Function</strong>
</span>
</h4>
</div>
<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Biervert et al. (1998) found that expression of human KCNQ2 in Xenopus laevis oocytes led to potassium-selective currents that activated slowly with depolarization. </p><p>The M channel is a slowly activating and deactivating potassium conductance that plays a critical role in determining the subthreshold electroexcitability of neurons as well as the responsiveness to synaptic inputs. The M current was first described in peripheral sympathetic neurons, and differential expression of this conductance produces subtypes of sympathetic neurons with distinct firing patterns. The M channel is also expressed in many neurons in the central nervous system. Wang et al. (1998) showed that the KCNQ2 and KCNQ3 channel subunits can coassemble to form a channel with essentially identical biophysical properties and pharmacologic sensitivities to the native M channel and that the pattern of KCNQ2 and KCNQ3 gene expression is consistent with these genes encoding the native M channel. </p><p>Yang et al. (1998) demonstrated that KCNQ2 and KCNQ3, both of which are associated with benign neonatal epilepsy, interact functionally with each other and with KCNE1 (176261), which is mutant in a form of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome and in 1 form of long QT syndrome. </p><p>Cooper et al. (2000) provided information regarding the in vivo distribution and biochemical characteristics of human brain KCNQ2 and KCNQ3, the 2 channel subunits that form M channels when expressed in vitro, and, when mutated, cause the dominantly inherited epileptic syndrome, benign familial neonatal seizures. They found that the KCNQ2 and KCNQ3 proteins are colocalized in a somatodendritic pattern on pyramidal and polymorphic neurons in the human cortex and hippocampus. Immunoreactivity for KCNQ2, but not KCNQ3, is also prominent in some terminal fields, suggesting a presynaptic role for a distinct subgroup of M channels in the regulation of action potential propagation and neurotransmitter release. KCNQ2 and KCNQ3 could be coimmunoprecipitated from brain lysates. Further, both proteins were coassociated with tubulin (see 602529) and protein kinase A (see 176911) within a triton X-100-insoluble protein complex. Cooper et al. (2000) suggested that these studies provided a view of a signaling complex that may be important for cognitive function as well as epilepsy, and that analysis of this complex may shed light on the transduction pathway linking muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (see 118510) activation to M-channel inhibition. </p><p>By recording channel currents produced in cRNA-injected Xenopus oocytes, Zhang et al. (2003) found that phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate (PIP2) activated all members of the KCNQ channel family analyzed, including human KCNQ2 and heterodimers of human KCNQ2 and rat Kcnq3. Similar results were obtained with mammalian cells expressing KCNQ2 and Kcnq3. Mutation of his328-to-cys in KCNQ2 and his330-to-cys in Kcnq3 reduced or eliminated PIP2-mediated channel activation. Wortmannin, a pharmacologic inhibitor of PIP2 regeneration, slowed the recovery from PIP2 hydrolysis and decreased the sensitivity of the KCNQ2/Kcnq3 channel to PIP2. Zhang et al. (2003) concluded that PIP2 acts as a membrane-diffusible second messenger to regulate the activity of KCNQ currents. </p>

<p><strong><em>Benign Familial Neonatal Seizures 1</em></strong></p><p>
In affected members of a family with benign familial neonatal seizures-1 (BFNS1; 121200), Singh et al. (1998) identified a small deletion on chromosome 20q encompassing the KCNQ2 gene. The finding was confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization in an affected individual who presented with seizures beginning at 3 days and had 118 generalized seizures until the age of 23 days. A single seizure was observed at 3.5 months in conjunction with an acute infection of the middle ear with fever, but no seizures were observed thereafter. Singh et al. (1998) also identified different heterozygous mutations in the KCNQ2 gene (see, e.g., 602235.0001 and 602235.0002) in additional families with BFNS1. </p><p>In a large pedigree with BFNS1, Biervert et al. (1998) found a 5-bp insertion (602235.0003) that was predicted to delete more than 300 amino acids from the C terminus of KCNQ2. Expression of the mutant channel did not yield measurable currents. Thus, impairment of potassium-dependent repolarization was indicated as the cause of this age-specific epileptic syndrome. </p><p>Dedek et al. (2001) reported a Caucasian family in which BFNS was followed later in life by myokymia, involuntary contractions of skeletal muscles (see 121200). All affected members of the family carried an arg207-to-trp mutation (R207W; 602235.0006) that neutralized a charged amino acid in the S4 voltage-sensor segment of KCNQ2. This substitution led to a shift of voltage-dependent activation of KCNQ2 and a dramatic slowing of activation upon depolarization. Myokymia was thought to result from hyperexcitability of the lower motoneuron; indeed both KCNQ2 and KCNQ3 mRNAs were detected in the anterior horn of the spinal cord where the cells of the lower motoneurons arise. Dedek et al. (2001) proposed that a difference in firing patterns between motoneurons and central neurons, combined with the drastically slowed voltage activation of the R207W mutant, explained by this particular KCNQ2 mutant caused myokymia in addition to BFNC. Wuttke et al. (2007) identified a mutation in the KCNQ2 gene (R207Q; 602235.0011) in a patient with isolated myokymia. </p><p>Heron et al. (2007) identified 3 deletions and 1 duplication of more than 1 exon of the KCNQ2 gene in 4 (44%) of 9 unrelated families with benign familial neonatal seizures who had previously tested negative for coding or splice site mutations. The changes were predicted to result in haploinsufficiency. The authors suggested that multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) should be a second-tier testing strategy in candidate cases. </p><p><strong><em>Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy 7</em></strong></p><p>
In a boy with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy-7 (DEE7; 613720), Dedek et al. (2003) identified a heterozygous missense mutation in the KCNQ2 gene (S247W; 602235.0008). Functional expression studies showed that the S247W mutation reduced channel currents by more than 50% in homomeric KCNQ2 channels. The mutation was inherited from his mother, who had a milder phenotype with resolution of seizures in infancy and subsequent normal development. The son had onset of seizures at day 3 of life and the mother at age 1 month. Dedek et al. (2003) emphasized that some KCNQ2 mutations may be associated with a more severe phenotype than is typical for BFNS. </p><p>Weckhuysen et al. (2012) identified 7 different heterozygous mutations in the KCNQ2 gene (see, e.g., 602235.0012-602235.0014) in 8 (10%) of 80 patients with neonatal or early infantile seizures and associated psychomotor retardation. The mutations arose de novo in 7 cases; in 1 case, a severely affected patient inherited the mutation from her father, who had a milder phenotype and was mosaic for the mutation. </p><p>Saitsu et al. (2012) identified 3 different de novo missense mutations in the KCNQ2 gene (see, e.g., A265V, 602235.0015) in 3 of 12 Japanese patients with DEE and onset of seizures in the first week of life. The mutations were found by whole-exome sequencing. The findings suggested that KCNQ2 mutations may be a common cause of this disorder. Functional studies of the variants were not performed. </p><p>By high-resolution melting analysis or whole-exome sequencing of 239 patients with DEE, Kato et al. (2013) found that 12 patients carried a total of 10 heterozygous missense mutations in the KCNQ2 gene. The mutations occurred de novo in all patients except 1, who inherited the mutation from her mildly affected mother who was somatic mosaic for the mutation. Several of the mutations had previously been reported (see, e.g., A265V, 602235.0015), but functional studies were not performed. </p>

<strong>Animal Model</strong>

<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>The electroconvulsive threshold (ECT) test has been used extensively to determine the protection conferred by antiepileptic drug candidates against induced seizures in rodents. Yang et al. (2003) adopted the ECT test to screen the progeny of ethylnitrosourea-treated male C57BL/6J mice. In a small-scale screen, several mutant lines conferring a low threshold to ECT minimal clonic seizures were mapped to the telomeric region of mouse chromosome 2 in independent founder families. Genetic and physical mapping data indicated that several lines shared a single mutation, Szt1 (seizure threshold-1), consisting of a 300-kb deletion of genomic DNA involving 3 known genes. Two of these genes, Kcnq2 and Chrna4 (118504), are known to be mutated in human epilepsy families. Szt1 homozygotes and heterozygotes displayed similar phenotypes to those found in the respective Kcnq2 knockout mutant mice, suggesting that Kcnq2 haploinsufficiency may lie at the root of the Szt1 seizure sensitivity. </p>

<p>Biervert et al.

The resulting frameshift was predicted to cause a premature stop, which would truncate more than 300 amino acids. Of 13 affected family members, 10 had known neonatal seizures.

<p>In 4 affected members of a family with benign familial neonatal seizures (BFNS1; 121200), Borgatti et al.

The mutation is located in a highly conserved region within alpha-helix B that is necessary for calmodulin binding. Functional expression studies showed that the K526N mutation decreased the voltage-dependence of the channel. Although 2 patients had a phenotype consistent with typical BFNS, the other 2 patients had a complex phenotype that was atypical and severe, consistent with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE7; 613720). One developed an extremely unfavorable outcome, profound mental retardation, and spastic quadriparesis. The other continued to have focal seizures until late infancy with a moderate degree of mental retardation and a mild cerebellar syndrome. Borgatti et al. (2004) noted that some patients with BFNS may experience seizures later in life or a different set of epileptic subtypes sometimes associated with severe neurologic and intellectual impairment. Overall, the clinical, genetic, and functional data did not provide a definitive explanation for the wide range of phenotypic variability observed in the described family, therefore preventing genotype-phenotype correlations. The authors postulated that the phenotypic variability could be due to the interplay of pathogenic mutations, modifier genes, and more subtle environmental factors. </p>

(2007) noted that a mutation in the same codon (R207W; 602235.0006) had been associated with neonatal epilepsy and/or myokymia. In vitro functional expression studies showed that mutant R207W and R207Q channels had large depolarizing shifts and marked slowing of activation time compared to wildtype channels. Coexpression with wildtype channels showed a dominant-negative effect reducing the current amplitude by 70% after short depolarization. </p>

<p>In a girl with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE7; 613720), Weckhuysen et al. (2012) identified a heterozygous 638G-A transition in the KCNQ2 gene, resulting in an arg213-to-gln (R213Q) substitution at a highly conserved residue in the transmembrane domain. The mutation was not found in 276 control individuals. The patient had onset of multiple daily seizures on the second day of life, and the mother had noted jerking movements during pregnancy. The patient had poor response to treatment, but the seizures remitted at age 14 months. However, at age 2 years 10 months, she had severe psychomotor retardation, could not roll over, was nonverbal, had severe spastic quadriplegia, and some dysmorphic features. Her father, who had benign neonatal seizures and myokymia, was mosaic for the mutation, which was found in 30% of his lymphocytes. </p>

<p>In a 9-year-old boy with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE7; 613720), Weckhuysen et al.

The mutation was not found in 276 control individuals. On the third day of life, the patient had onset of multiple daily tonic seizures resistant to treatment and associated with a burst suppression pattern on EEG that evolved into multifocal epileptic activity. Seizures remitted at age 3 years and the EEG was normal at age 8. However, he had psychomotor retardation, mild spasticity, widely spaced gait, and lack of speech development. Brain imaging showed lesions in the basal ganglia and a thin posterior corpus callosum. </p>

To ensure long-term funding for the OMIM project, we have diversified
our revenue stream. We are determined to keep this website freely
accessible. Unfortunately, it is not free to produce. Expert curators
review the literature and organize it to facilitate your work. Over 90%
of the OMIM's operating expenses go to salary support for MD and PhD
science writers and biocurators. Please join your colleagues by making a
donation now and again in the future. Donations are an important
component of our efforts to ensure long-term funding to provide you the
information that you need at your fingertips.
