Genes affected
CACNA1D (HGNC:1391): (calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 D) 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, namely alpha-1A, B, C, D, E, and S. This gene encodes the alpha-1D subunit. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]

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

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1786 of the CACNA1D protein (p.Ala1786Pro). This variant is present in population databases (rs199874790, gnomAD 0.05%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CACNA1D-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 504809). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. 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.

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The p.Ala1786Pro va riant in CACNA1D has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing lo ss and has been identified in 21/66696 European chromosomes by the Exome Aggrega tion Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs199874790). Altho ugh this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is not h igh enough to rule out a pathogenic role. Computational prediction tools and con servation analyses suggest that this variant may not impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, while the clinical significance of the p.Ala1786Pro variant is uncertain, these data suggest that it is more likely to be benign.
