Genes affected

CACNA1F (HGNC:1393): (calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 F) This gene encodes a multipass transmembrane protein that functions as an alpha-1 subunit of the voltage-dependent calcium channel, which mediates the influx of calcium ions into the cell. The encoded protein forms a complex of alpha-1, alpha-2/delta, beta, and gamma subunits in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. Mutations in this gene can cause X-linked eye disorders, including congenital stationary night blindness type 2A, cone-rod dystropy, and Aland Island eye disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 15 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PP5: Variant X-49218511-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-49218511-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 11615.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chrX-49218511-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chrX-49218511-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• BS2: High Hemizygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 2 XL geneVariant has number of hemizygotes lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

Congenital stationary night blindness 2A Pathogenic:2

Clinical Genomics Laboratory, Washington University in St. Louis

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The CACNA1F c.2872C>T (p.Arg958*) variant has been observed in at least two individuals or families affected with X-linked congenital stationary night blindness, defined as either reduced visual acuity, nystagmus, strabismus, or a combination of these findings (Strom TM et al., PMID: 9662399; Zeitz C et al., PMID: 25307992). Furthermore, this variant has been reported in the ClinVar database as a germline pathogenic variant by several submitters. This variant causes a premature termination codon, which is predicted to lead to nonsense mediated decay. Additionally, other variants that introduce premature termination codons in this region have been described in affected individuals and are considered pathogenic (Wutz K et al., PMID: 12111638). Based on available information and the ACMG/AMP guidelines for variant interpretation (Richards S et al., PMID: 25741868), this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The CACNA1F c.2905C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg969*). This variant has been reported in a kindred with incomplete congenital stationary night blindness (reported as 2172C>T, R958X in Strom et al. 1998. PubMed ID: 9662399) and in an individual with reduced visual acuity and nystagmus (Thomas et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28378818). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. Nonsense variants in CACNA1F are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg969*) in the CACNA1F gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CACNA1F are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9662399, 11281458, 17525176, 22194652, 24124559, 26992781). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with incomplete congenital stationary night blindness (PMID: 9662399). This variant is also known as p.Arg958*. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 11615). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
