Genes affected
CASR (HGNC:1514): (calcium sensing receptor) The protein encoded by this gene is a plasma membrane G protein-coupled receptor that senses small changes in circulating calcium concentration. The encoded protein couples this information to intracellular signaling pathways that modify parathyroid hormone secretion or renal cation handling, and thus this protein plays an essential role in maintaining mineral ion homeostasis. Mutations in this gene are a cause of familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism, and autosomal dominant hypocalcemia. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

The p.C739Y variant (also known as c.2216G>A), located in coding exon 6 of the CASR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2216. The cysteine at codon 739 is replaced by tyrosine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration was identified in two siblings diagnosed with familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) however functional studies indicated that this variant most likely was not causing FHH (Magno AL et al. Calcif Tissue Int, 2020 09;107:230-239). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. In addition, the evidence for the gene-disease relationship is limited for pancreatitis and cancer predisposition; therefore, the clinical significance of this variant for CASR-related pancreatitis and cancer predisposition is unclear. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 739 of the CASR protein (p.Cys739Tyr). This variant is present in population databases (rs375468610, gnomAD 0.005%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (PMID: 32638038). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 446992). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect CASR function (PMID: 32638038). 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. -
