Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -8 ACMG points: 0P and 8B. BP4_Strong BS2

The NM_021098.3(CACNA1H):​c.4929+5G>A variant causes a splice donor 5th base, intron change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000684 in 1,608,562 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 2/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. 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

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -8 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.8).
• BS2: High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 9 AD gene.

This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change falls in intron 27 of the CACNA1H gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the CACNA1H protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CACNA1H-related conditions. 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. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 460133). -
