Genes affected
CACNB2 (HGNC:1402): (calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit beta 2) This gene encodes a subunit of a voltage-dependent calcium channel protein that is a member of the voltage-gated calcium channel superfamily. The gene product was originally identified as an antigen target in Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, an autoimmune disorder. Mutations in this gene are associated with Brugada syndrome. Alternatively spliced variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2013]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the CACNB2 gene. The R509P variant has not been published as pathogenic or been reported as benign to our knowledge. This variant is not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). The R509P variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. However, this variant lacks observation in a significant number of affected individuals, segregation data, and functional evidence, which would further clarify its pathogenicity.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1526G>C (p.R509P) alteration is located in exon 13 (coding exon 13) of the CACNB2 gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 1526, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 509 to be replaced by a proline (P). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
