Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -12 ACMG points: 1P and 13B. PP2 BP4_Strong BP6 BS1 BS2

The NM_001129829.2(CACNA1C):​c.4000G>A​(p.Asp1334Asn) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000305 in 1,613,770 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 2 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 12/15 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. D1334D) has been classified as Benign.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -12 ACMG points.

• PP2: Missense variant in the CACNA1C gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 45 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 91 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 6.4654 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 7.1751 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to intellectual disability, neurodevelopmental disorder with hypotonia, language delay, and skeletal defects with or without seizures, Brugada syndrome, long QT syndrome, short QT syndrome, long qt syndrome 8, Timothy syndrome, Brugada syndrome 3.
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.041235715).
• BP6: Variant 12-2651628-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr12-2651628-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity].

Variant summary: CACNA1C c.3946-12G>A alters a conserved nucleotide located at a position not widely known to affect splicing. Two of two in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00023 in 249296 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00049 within the South Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within South Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 49 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in CACNA1C causing Timothy Syndrome phenotype (1e-05). c.3946-12G>A has been reported in the literature in at-least one individual with Brugada syndrome, without strong evidence of causality (example: Di Resta_2015). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Timothy Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 26220970). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 190617). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
