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]

The R496Q variant of uncertain significance in the CACNA1C gene has not been published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge. This variant is not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). In addition, R496Q is a semi-conservative amino acid substitution, which may impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in some properties. This substitution also occurs at a position that is conserved across species. Furthermore, the majority of in silico algorithms predict R496Q is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Therefore, additional evidence is needed to determine whether this variant is pathogenic or benign. -

The p.R496Q variant (also known as c.1487G>A), located in coding exon 11 of the CACNA1C gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1487. The arginine at codon 496 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
