Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points: 2P and 5B. PM4 BS1_Supporting BS2

The NM_021098.3(CACNA1H):​c.3422_3442dupGGCGCTCCAGCTGGAGCAGCC​(p.Arg1141_Ser1147dup) variant causes a disruptive inframe insertion change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000125 in 1,545,256 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type INS_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★).

Genes affected

CACNA1H (HGNC:1395): (calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 H) This gene encodes a T-type member of the alpha-1 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. The alpha-1 subunit has 24 transmembrane segments and forms the pore through which ions pass into the cell. There are multiple isoforms of each of the proteins in the complex, either encoded by different genes or the result of alternative splicing of transcripts. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized for the gene described here. Studies suggest certain mutations in this gene lead to childhood absence epilepsy (CAE). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points.

• PM4: Nonframeshift variant in NON repetitive region in NM_021098.3.
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.000133 (185/1392954) while in subpopulation EAS AF = 0.000821 (30/36540). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00059. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 92 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 31. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
• BS2: High AC in GnomAd4 at 8 AD gene.
