Ivone Leong (Genomics England Curator)

Comment on list classification: Promoted from amber to green, based on the expert reviews already provided. There are also >3 unrelated cases of patients with different variants in the KCNQ3 gene who have the described phenotype.

As commented in PMID: 24851285 (Clinical description section) intellectual disability is a feature of the KCNQ3-related disorders. At least 5 individuals falling into the BFNE subtype and others falling into the so-called "KCNQ3-related developmental disability" subtype had ID. The following publications are cited by the authors - PMID: 24375629, 25524373, 23934111, 28135719.

The gene is included in the DD panel of G2P, associated with KCNQ3 syndrome.

KCNQ3 is included in gene panels for intellectual disability offered by diagnostic laboratories (incl. Radboudumc).

Therefore, this gene could be considered for upgrade to green or could remain amber until further details on the phenotype become available.

Variants in this GENE are reported as part of current diagnostic practice

Louise Daugherty (Genomics England Curator)

Comment on list classification: Changed Red to Amber from external expert review and further publications to support gene-disease association- the predominate phenotype is epilepsy with delayed developmental delay, although in PMID: 28135719 supplementary PenIcons, only 2 of the 4 cases for KCNQ3 had HPO term severe Intellectual disability so upgraded gene to Amber and not Green

Red List (low evidence)

Variants in this gene are strongly associated with epilepsy and epilepsy syndromes. There is some evidence that shows inheritance of an epilepsy phenotype alongside a mild intellectual disability phenotype in two individuals in one family (25524373). In PMID 20384724, a family with seizures and ID are described, however the microduplication described does not appear to affect the KCNQ3 gene (no variant was detected). In PMID 25982755, patients from only 3 families in the study had intellectual disability, and none have any detected variation in KCNQ3. In PMID , there is a mention on KCNQ3-related disorder which is noted to have individuals who present with ID with or without seizures. Howevr it notes that little clinical information is available and does not state any family cases.
