Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PM2 PP2 PP3_Moderate PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000719.7(CACNA1C):c.1609A>G(p.Asn537Asp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 12/20 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. N537N) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 13 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, CACNA1C
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.923
• PP5: Variant 12-2566522-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-2566522-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 521136.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Missense changes are a common disease-causing mechanism. The variant has been reported as assumed (i.e. paternity and maternity not confirmed) de novo by an outside laboratory. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.82). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported to be associated with CACNA1C related disorder (ClinVar ID: VCV000521136). Therefore, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

The c.1609A>G (p.N537D) alteration is located in exon 12 (coding exon 12) of the CACNA1C gene. This alteration results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 1609, causing the asparagine (N) at amino acid position 537 to be replaced by an aspartic acid (D)._x000D_ _x000D_ Based on the available evidence, the CACNA1C c.1609A>G (p.N537D) alteration is classified as likely pathogenic for CACNA1C-related neurodevelopmental disorder; however, its clinical significance for Timothy syndrome and CACNA1C-related long QT syndrome is uncertain. This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This missense alteration is located in a region that has a low rate of benign missense variation (Lek, 2016; Firth, 2009). The L-type Cav1.2 channel (encoded by CACNA1C) consists of four homologous domains, each containing six transmembrane segments S1-S6. Segments S1-S4 form the voltage-sensing domain. The p.N537 amino acid is located in transmembrane segment S1 of domain II. Structural modeling performed in house at Ambry Genetics suggests that the p.N537 amino acid is essential for Cav1.2 function as a voltage-dependent calcium channel. The p.N537D alteration may affect the gating of the Cav1.2 channel and transform the channel into a proton channel (Ramsey, 2010; Musset, 2011). The in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -
