The NM_001127222.2(CACNA1A):c.3103dupT (p.Ser1035PhefsTer32) variant causes a frameshift change. The variant is predicted to lead to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★).

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]

Classification according to ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 14 points.

• PVS1: Frameshift/stop-gained, NMD predicted, LoF disease mechanism — very strong (PVS1); Frameshift (exon 20 of 47) at amino acid 1035 of 2506, predicted to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Loss of function is a known disease mechanism for this gene. A new stop codon is introduced in the shifted frame, truncating the protein to ~1065 amino acids (1441 amino acids lost).
• PM2: Absent from gnomAD (AD/XL gene) — PM2; Absent from gnomAD at well-covered site (MOI: AD/XL) (base 0.0001, raised to 0.000117 by highest known P/LP ClinVar AF 0.000117) — PM2 moderate.
• PP5: ClinVar 2-star pathogenic — strong (PP5); ClinVar germline classification: Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic, 2 star(s).
