Genes affected
CACNA2D4 (HGNC:20202): (calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit alpha2delta 4) This gene encodes a member of the alpha-2/delta subunit family, a protein in the voltage-dependent calcium channel complex. Calcium channels mediate the influx of calcium ions into the cell upon membrane polarization and consist of a complex of alpha-1, alpha-2/delta, beta, and gamma subunits in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. Various versions of each of these subunits exist, either expressed from similar genes or the result of alternative splicing. Research on a highly similar protein in rabbit suggests the protein described in this record is cleaved into alpha-2 and delta subunits. Alternate transcriptional splice variants of this gene have been observed but have not been thoroughly characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedliterature onlyOMIMNov 01, 2006- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaApr 28, 2017The CACNA2D4 c.2406C>A (p.Tyr802Ter) variant is a stop-gained variant that is predicted to result in a premature termination of the protein. The p.Tyr802Ter variant has been reported in one study in which it is found in a homozygous state in two siblings with retinal cone dystrophy (Wycisk et al. 2006). The variant allele was absent in the unaffected siblings and present in a heterozygous state in the unaffected father. The p.Tyr802Ter variant was absent from 224 controls and is reported at a frequency of 0.00067 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Bacchi et al. (2015) reported that the variant results in the abolition of a predicted exon splicing enhancer and the creation of an exon splicing silencer. Due to the potential impact of stop-gained variants and the supporting evidence from the literature, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance, but suspicious for pathogenicity for retinal cone dystrophy. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpOct 26, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr802*) in the CACNA2D4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. However, the current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in CACNA2D4 cause disease. This variant is present in population databases (rs71454844, gnomAD 0.08%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with CACNA2D4-related conditions (PMID: 17033974, 36460718). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2504). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
CACNA2D4-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesAug 28, 2024The CACNA2D4 c.2406C>A variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Tyr802*). This variant has been reported in the homozygous state in two siblings with a mild, progressive cone dystrophy; it was found to be heterozygous in an unaffected parent and absent from two additional unaffected siblings (Wycisk et al. 2006. PubMed ID: 17033974). This variant has also been reported in an individual with an inherited retinal disease as part of a genetically solved cohort, although no additional details were provided (Table S1, Karali et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 36460718). This variant is reported in 0.078% of alleles in individuals of European (non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in CACNA2D4 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
