Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM2PP2
The ENST00000344100.7(CACNA1C):āc.4002C>Gā(p.Asp1334Glu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000131 in 152,150 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 11/17 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (ā ). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. D1334N) has been classified as Likely benign.
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]

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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 411722). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CACNA1C-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change falls in intron 31 of the CACNA1C gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the CACNA1C protein. -
