KCNQ2 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human KCNQ2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 20q13.33 and is approximately 72 kb in length. This allele, which encodes potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily KQT member 2 protein, plays a role in neuronal excitability via potassium ion transport. Mutations in the gene are associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 7, myokymia and benign familial neonatal convulsions type 1 (BFNC; benign neonatal epilepsy 1; EBN1).
