Genes affected
CACNA1G (HGNC:1394): (calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 G) Voltage-sensitive calcium channels mediate the entry of calcium ions into excitable cells, and are also involved in a variety of calcium-dependent processes, including muscle contraction, hormone or neurotransmitter release, gene expression, cell motility, cell division, and cell death. This gene encodes a T-type, low-voltage activated calcium channel. The T-type channels generate currents that are both transient, owing to fast inactivation, and tiny, owing to small conductance. T-type channels are thought to be involved in pacemaker activity, low-threshold calcium spikes, neuronal oscillations and resonance, and rebound burst firing. Many alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]

The c.2128A>T (p.S710C) alteration is located in exon 9 (coding exon 9) of the CACNA1G gene. This alteration results from a A to T substitution at nucleotide position 2128, causing the serine (S) at amino acid position 710 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Variant summary: CACNA1G c.2128A>T (p.Ser710Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8.3e-05 in 1606190 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00011 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database (v4.1 dataset). The occurrence in several carriers suggests that this variant is likely not causal for a penetrant dominant condition. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.2128A>T in individuals affected with Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 42 and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 208689). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
