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]

The CACNA1C c.15_16delTA variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Thr6Glufs*35). This variant was reported in an individual with atrial fibrillation (Yoneda et al 2021. PubMed ID: 34495297). This variant is reported in 0.0026% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Frameshift variants in CACNA1C are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -

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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 190711). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CACNA1C-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs786205782, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr6Glufs*35) in the CACNA1C gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. However, the current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in CACNA1C cause disease. -

The c.15_16delTA variant, located in coding exon 1 of the CACNA1C gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 15 to 16, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.T6Efs*35). The predicted stop codon occurs in the 5’ end of theCACNA1C gene. Premature termination codons in the 5’ end of a gene have been reported to escape nonsense-mediated mRNAdecay and/or lead to re-initiation (Rivas et al. Science. 2015 May 8;348(6235):666-9; Lindeboom et al. Nat Genet. 2016 Oct;48(10):1112-8; Rhee et al. Sci Rep. 2017 May 10;7(1):1653). The exact functional effect of this alteration is unknown. According to data from gnomAD, the frequency for this variant is above the maximum credible frequency for a cardiac disease-causing variant in this gene based on internally established thresholds (Karczewski et al. Nature. 2020 May;581(7809):434-443; Whiffin et al. Genet Med. 2017 10;19:1151-1158). Based on the supporting evidence, the association of this alteration with CACNA1C-related neurodevelopmental disorder is unknown; however, the association with CACNA1C-related long QT syndrome or Timothy syndrome is unlikely. -
