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

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

PVS1

Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.053809118 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.2, offset of -38, new splice context is: accGTgagg. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.

PM2

Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 17 of the CACNA1H gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs770718464, ExAC 0.009%) but has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a CACNA1H-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 265069). In summary, donor and acceptor splice site variants are typically loss-of-function (PMID: 16199547). However, current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in CACNA1H cause disease. Therefore, this variant has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The c.3744+1G>A variant in the CACNA1H gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. This splice site variant destroys the canonical splice donor site in intron 17. It is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing, either leading to an abnormal message that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, or to an abnormal protein product if the message is used for protein translation. The c.3744+1G>A variant was not observed in approximately 6300 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Based on review of the data in the context of the 2015 ACMG standards and guidelines for the interpretation of sequence variants (Richards et al., 2015), we now interpret c.3744+1G>A as a variant of uncertain significance, which may be related to the epilepsy reported -
