Genes affected

CACNA1C (HGNC:1390): (calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 C) This gene encodes an alpha-1 subunit of a voltage-dependent calcium channel. Calcium channels mediate the influx of calcium ions into the cell upon membrane polarization. The alpha-1 subunit consists of 24 transmembrane segments and forms the pore through which ions pass into the cell. The calcium channel consists of a complex of alpha-1, alpha-2/delta, beta, and gamma subunits in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. There are multiple isoforms of each of these proteins, either encoded by different genes or the result of alternative splicing of transcripts. The protein encoded by this gene binds to and is inhibited by dihydropyridine. Alternative splicing results in many transcript variants encoding different proteins. Some of the predicted proteins may not produce functional ion channel subunits. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2012]

Significance: Benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: The CACNA1C c.2854-4G>A variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved intronic nucleotide, which 5/5 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing and ESE finder predicts alterations to ESE binding, although these predictions have yet to be functionally assessed. The variant of interest was observed in the large, broad control population, ExAC, with an allele frequency of 7/120806 (1/17259), predominantly in the European (Non-Finnish) cohort, 6/66684 (1/11113), which significantly exceeds the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic CACNA1C variant of 1/100000. Therefore, suggesting this variant is likely a benign polymorphism found in population(s) of European (Non-Finnish) origin. The variant of interest has, to our knowledge, been reported in affected individuals via publications and/or reputable databases/clinical diagnostic laboratories. Therefore, due to the frequency observed in the ExAC control population, the variant of interest has been classified as Benign. -

CACNA1C NM_000719.6 exon 22 c.2854-4G>A: This variant has not been reported in the literature and is present in 0.01% (4/24432) of African alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/12-2711016-G-A). This variant is present in ClinVar (Variation ID:496072). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools for this variant are limited or unavailable. This variant is an intronic variant with no predicted change in the amino acid sequence but may have an unknown effect on splicing. Further studies are needed to understand its impact. In summary, data on this variant is insufficient for disease classification. Therefore, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
