The KCNQ2 protein regulates action potential firing, and mutations in its gene are associated with epilepsy and neuropathic pain. The identified variant, although of uncertain significance, may disrupt KCNQ2 function and also play a role in tremor pathogenesis. This case highlights the importance of genetic screening in combined tremor disorders.
