Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -5 ACMG points: 0P and 5B. BP4BS2

The NM_001127222.2(CACNA1A):​c.2404C>A​(p.Arg802Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000255 in 1,610,230 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R802P) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected
CACNA1A (HGNC:1388): (calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 A) Voltage-dependent calcium channels mediate the entry of calcium ions into excitable cells, and are also involved in a variety of calcium-dependent processes, including muscle contraction, hormone or neurotransmitter release, and gene expression. Calcium channels are multisubunit complexes composed of alpha-1, beta, alpha-2/delta, and gamma subunits. The channel activity is directed by the pore-forming alpha-1 subunit, whereas, the others act as auxiliary subunits regulating this activity. The distinctive properties of the calcium channel types are related primarily to the expression of a variety of alpha-1 isoforms, alpha-1A, B, C, D, E, and S. This gene encodes the alpha-1A subunit, which is predominantly expressed in neuronal tissue. Mutations in this gene are associated with 2 neurologic disorders, familial hemiplegic migraine and episodic ataxia 2. This gene also exhibits polymorphic variation due to (CAG)n-repeats. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. In one set of transcript variants, the (CAG)n-repeats occur in the 3' UTR, and are not associated with any disease. But in another set of variants, an insertion extends the coding region to include the (CAG)n-repeats which encode a polyglutamine tract. Expansion of the (CAG)n-repeats from the normal 4-18 to 21-33 in the coding region is associated with spinocerebellar ataxia 6. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

Reported previously, using an alternate transcript, in an individual with mild dysarthria, prominent cerebellar oculomotor dysfunction, limb and truncal ataxia with gait instability, but no additional signs of SCA6, and in his similarly affected father (PMID: 28455667); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 34426522, 37422902, 28455667)

The p.R803S variant (also known as c.2407C>A), located in coding exon 19 of the CACNA1A gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 2407. The arginine at codon 803 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. In one study, this alteration was detected in a father and his son; both of whom had spinocerebellar ataxia symptoms (Balck A et al. J. Neurol., 2017 Jul;264:1520-1522). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
