Genes affected
CACNA1S (HGNC:1397): (calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 S) This gene encodes one of the five subunits of the slowly inactivating L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel in skeletal muscle cells. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hypokalemic periodic paralysis, thyrotoxic periodic paralysis and malignant hyperthermia susceptibility. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJan 26, 2023Variant summary: CACNA1S c.5104C>T (p.Arg1702X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 9.2e-05 in 251228 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 73 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in CACNA1S causing autosomal dominant Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis phenotype (1.3e-06), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. c.5104C>T has been reported in the literature as a compound heterozygous genotype with other loss of function (LOF) variants in the CACNA1S gene in at-least two individuals affected with features of Myopathies and muscular dystrophies (Zenagui_2018, captured in Juntas_2021), and/or neuromuscular disease with neonatal respiratory distress (example, Franois-Heude_2021). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. However, to our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in settings of dominantly inherited Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis or other CACNA1S-related disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Five clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation (Pathogenic, n=1; VUS, n=4). Some submitters cite overlapping evidence utilized in the context of this evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, due to ambiguity related to the exact inheritance pattern (dominant or recessive), molecular mechanism of disease and the clinical validity of the reported association(s), the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Malignant hyperthermia, susceptibility to, 5;C3714580:Hypokalemic periodic paralysis, type 1 Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 16, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1702*) in the CACNA1S gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CACNA1S are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 26247046, 28012042). This variant is present in population databases (rs550371466, gnomAD 0.06%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of autosomal recessive CACNA1S-related conditions (PMID: 29792937; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 402469). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Hypokalemic periodic paralysis, type 1 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 12, 2018This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -
