Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Moderate

The NM_001127222.2(CACNA1A):c.5125G>A(p.Gly1709Arg) 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. 12/21 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. G1709G) has been classified as Likely benign.

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 11 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, 5 uncertain in NM_001127222.2
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, CACNA1A
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.989
• PP5: Variant 19-13235217-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-13235217-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 446929.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

clinical testing

Athena Diagnostics

Oct 18, 2022

This variant appears to segregate with episodic ataxia in a family tested at Athena Diagnostics, however, the available information does not rule out segregation due to chance. This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Computational tools predict that this variant is damaging. -
