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]

p.Ala1689Thr (GCT>ACT): c.5065 G>A in exon 41 of the CACNA1C gene (NM_000719.6). The Ala1689Thr variant in the CACNA1C gene has not been reported as a disease-causing mutation or as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. Ala1689Thr results in a non-conservative amino acid substitution of a non-polar Alanine residue with a polar Threonine residue at a position that is conserved across species. The Ala1689Thr variant was not observed with any significant frequency in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project. However, in silico analysis was inconsistent with regard to the effect this variant may have on the protein structure/function. Furthermore, no mutations affecting nearby residues have been reported in association with LQTS, indicating this region of the protein may be tolerant of change.With the clinical and molecular information available at this time, we cannot definitively determine if Ala1689Thr is a disease-causing mutation or a rare benign variant. The variant is found in LQT panel(s).

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The CACNA1C c.5065G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala1689Thr. This variant has been reported in an individual with aborted sudden death. Functionals studies of this variant showed no major alterations of the channel function (Blancard M et al 2018. PubMed ID: 30279520). This variant is reported in 0.0098% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence.

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1689 of the CACNA1C protein (p.Ala1689Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs368700869, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with aborted sudden death (PMID: 30279520). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 190677). 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) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on CACNA1C protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect CACNA1C function (PMID: 30279520). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

Cardiovascular phenotype Benign:1

Ambry Genetics
Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

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.
