Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic variants in KCNQ2 encoding Kv7.2 voltage-gated potassium channel subunits cause developmental encephalopathies (KCNQ2-encephalopathies), both with and without epilepsy. We herein describe the clinical, in vitro, and in silico features of two encephalopathy-causing variants (A317T, L318V) in Kv7.2 affecting two consecutive residues in the S6 activation gate that undergoes large structural rearrangements...
