Genes affected

CACNA1G (HGNC:1394): (calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 G) Voltage-sensitive 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, gene expression, cell motility, cell division, and cell death. This gene encodes a T-type, low-voltage activated calcium channel. The T-type channels generate currents that are both transient, owing to fast inactivation, and tiny, owing to small conductance. T-type channels are thought to be involved in pacemaker activity, low-threshold calcium spikes, neuronal oscillations and resonance, and rebound burst firing. Many alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.94
• PP5: Variant 17-50592063-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-50592063-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 280269.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The heterozygous variant c.2881G>A (p.Ala961Thr) has been identified in a proband with global developmental delay, sparse hair, decreased tone, speech defects, inability to handle objects, stranger anxiety, axial hypotonia, limb hypotonia, dystonia and increased levels of glutaric acid on GCMS. This variant has not been reported in gnomAD (aggregated) database (PM2_moderate). Computational tools predict a deleterious effect of the mis-sense variant (PP3_moderate). This variant has been reported previously (PP5_supporting). PMID: 29878067. Segregation in the parents confirms that this is a de-novo variant in the proband. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.2881G>A (p.A961T) alteration is located in coding exon 13 of the CACNA1G gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2881, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 961 to be replaced by a threonine (T). The CACNA1G c.2881G>A alteration was flagged as a low confidence call in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This variant has been determined to be the result of a de novo mutation in multiple individual(s) with features consistent with CACNA1G-related spinocerebellar ataxia (Chemin, 2018; Martinez-Rubio, 2023). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This missense alteration is located in a region that has a low rate of benign missense variation (Lek, 2016; Firth, 2009). This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
