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]

A Heterozygous Missense variant c.653C>T in Exon 5 of the CACNA1A gene that results in the amino acid substitution p.Ser218Leu was identified. The observed variant has a minor allele frequency of 0.00% in gnomAD exomes and genomes, respectively. The severity of the impact of this variant on the protein is medium, based on the effect of the protein and REVEL score. Rare Exome Variant Ensemble Learner (REVEL) is an ensembl method for predicting the pathogenicity of missense variants based on a combination of scores from 13 individual tools: MutPred, FATHMM v2.3, VEST 3.0, PolyPhen-2, SIFT, PROVEAN, MutationAssessor, MutationTaster, LRT, GERP++, SiPhy, phyloP, and phastCons. The REVEL score for an individual missense variant can range from 0 to 1, with higher scores reflecting greater likelihood that the variant is disease-causing. ClinVar has also classified this variant as Pathogenic. (Variation ID: 8504) The variant has been previously reported by Kors EE, et al., 2001. Functional studies demonstrate a damaging gain of function effect (Damaj L et al., 2015) Based on the above evidence this variant has been classified as Pathogenic according to the ACMG guidelines. -

Variant summary: CACNA1A c.653C>T (p.Ser218Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Ion transport domain (IPR005821) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 248928 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.653C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Familial hemiplegic migraine (examples: Kors_2001, Stam_2009). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 11409427, 19520699). Four submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 218 of the CACNA1A protein (p.Ser218Leu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with familial hemiplegic migraine (PMID: 11409427, 19520699). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 8504). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt CACNA1A protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CACNA1A function (PMID: 15743764, 18581134). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
