Genes affected

CACNA1A (HGNC:1388): (calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 A) Voltage-dependent 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, and gene expression. Calcium channels are multisubunit complexes composed of alpha-1, beta, alpha-2/delta, and gamma subunits. The channel activity is directed by the pore-forming alpha-1 subunit, whereas, the others act as auxiliary subunits regulating this activity. The distinctive properties of the calcium channel types are related primarily to the expression of a variety of alpha-1 isoforms, alpha-1A, B, C, D, E, and S. This gene encodes the alpha-1A subunit, which is predominantly expressed in neuronal tissue. Mutations in this gene are associated with 2 neurologic disorders, familial hemiplegic migraine and episodic ataxia 2. This gene also exhibits polymorphic variation due to (CAG)n-repeats. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. In one set of transcript variants, the (CAG)n-repeats occur in the 3' UTR, and are not associated with any disease. But in another set of variants, an insertion extends the coding region to include the (CAG)n-repeats which encode a polyglutamine tract. Expansion of the (CAG)n-repeats from the normal 4-18 to 21-33 in the coding region is associated with spinocerebellar ataxia 6. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a topological_domain Extracellular (size 86) in uniprot entity CAC1A_HUMAN there are 6 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_001127222.2
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in gene, where missense usually causes diseases (based on misZ statistic), CACNA1A. . Gene score misZ 5.7845 (greater than the threshold 3.09). Trascript score misZ 3.9354 (greater than threshold 3.09). GenCC has associacion of gene with benign paroxysmal torticollis of infancy, developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 42, undetermined early-onset epileptic encephalopathy, episodic ataxia type 2, familial or sporadic hemiplegic migraine, spinocerebellar ataxia type 6, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, migraine, familial hemiplegic, 1.

We have detected a heterozygous variant in exon 6 of the CACNA1A gene, c.832G>A (p.Ala278Thr), rs1013100046, reference transcript NM_001127221.1. The variant is reported as uncertain for early infantile epileptic encephalopathy-42 and episodic ataxia type 2 in ClinVar (Variation ID: 570273). There is no information on frequency in gnomAD, 1000 Genomes or NHLI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP). The nucleotide position is conserved across 35 mammalian species (GERP RS: 5.27). In silico analysis indicates that the variant might be damaging. -

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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 570273). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CACNA1A-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 278 of the CACNA1A protein (p.Ala278Thr). -
