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]
CACNA1C-AS1 (HGNC:40119): (CACNA1C antisense RNA 1)

This variant is found in 433/121010 control chromosomes including the large and broad populations from ExAC at a frequency of 0.0035782, which is about 358 times greater than the maximal expected frequency of a pathogenic allele (0.00001) in this gene, suggesting this variant is benign. Five homozygotes were reported in ExAC. This variant has been reported in multiple LQTS and BrS patients without strong evidence for causality (eg. co-segregation studies). Clinical diagnostic labs have classified this variant as a VUS or likely benign before the large and diverse ExAC control cohorts were available. Taken together, this variant was classified as likely benign. -

Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingStanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease, Stanford UniversityDec 02, 2014Note this variant was found in clinical genetic testing performed by one or more labs who may also submit to ClinVar. Thus any internal case data may overlap with the internal case data of other labs. The interpretation reviewed below is that of the Stanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease. Based on the data reviewed we consider this a variant of uncertain significance. This variant is novel. Pathogenic variants in CACNA1C are associated with Timothy syndrome and Brugada syndrome. This is a semi-conservative amino acid change with a hydrophilic basic polar Arginine replaced with a hydrophilic polar Glutamine. The variant is found in a highly conserved region of the CACNA1C gene. The reporting lab observed the variant in 2 out of 353 presumably healthy individuals of mixed ethnic background. Based on these data it is currently unclear whether this variant can cause disease, however given the presence in controls for a variant in a gene thus far only associated with quite rare diseases, it seems most likely that this variant does not cause rare Mendelian disease such as long QT syndrome. -
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxOct 10, 2016This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
