KCNV2

Chr 9AR

potassium voltage-gated channel modifier subfamily V member 2

Also known as: CDSRR, KV11.1, Kv8.2, RCD3B

This gene encodes a voltage-gated potassium channel subunit that modulates channel activity by shifting activation thresholds to more negative values and forms heteromultimers with other potassium channel subunits rather than functioning alone. Biallelic mutations cause cone dystrophy with supernormal rod responses, an autosomal recessive retinal disorder. The gene shows tolerance to loss-of-function variants (high LOEUF score), suggesting the pathogenic variants may have effects beyond simple protein loss.

The Badonyi & Marsh prediction model was trained exclusively on dominant disease genes. Predictions are not reliable for genes with autosomal recessive inheritance and are shown at reduced opacity for reference only.
