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

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -21 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.77).
BP6
Variant 19-13255218-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr19-13255218-G-A is described in ClinVar as Benign/Likely_benign. ClinVar VariationId is 166766.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BP7
Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-1.24 with no splicing effect.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00179 (273/152264) while in subpopulation AMR AF = 0.00412 (63/15288). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00331. There are 1 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 130 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 30. This position passed quality control check.
BS2

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
