Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 19 ACMG points: 19P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The ENST00000360228.11(CACNA1A):​c.4996C>T​(p.Arg1666Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,461,652 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R1666Q) has been classified as 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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 19 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 7 uncertain in ENST00000360228.11
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr19-13235684-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 638582.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• 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.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.961
• PP5: Variant 19-13235685-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-13235685-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 68433.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr19-13235685-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
