KCNMA1 (Q12791) variants and mutations

KCNMA1 (also known as Q12791) is a human protein-coding gene encoding a calcium-activated potassium channel subunit alpha-1 protein. Its large-conductance potassium current couples membrane voltage and intracellular calcium to rapid repolarization in neurons, smooth muscle, and other excitable cells. Gain- and loss-of-function variants can cause paroxysmal dyskinesia, epilepsy, developmental impairment, and movement disorders. This analysis covers 1,392 KCNMA1 variants and mutations. Of these, 68% have computational variant effect predictions. Disease context includes Generalized epilepsy - paroxysmal dyskinesia, generalized epilepsy-paroxysmal dyskinesia syndrome, and Liang-Wang syndrome. Example KCNMA1 variants include M1L, M1V, and A2P.
