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]

Variant 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. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in CACNA1S causing Congenital myopathy 18-AR, allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.5104C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected features of Myopathies and muscular dystrophies (Zenagui_2018, captured in Juntas_2021), and/or neuromuscular disease with neonatal respiratory distress (example, Franois-Heude_2021). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29792937, 34440373, 33667896). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 402469). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This 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; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 402469). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The CACNA1S c.5104C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg1702*). This variant has been reported in an individual with myopathy, but no family or functional data were provided to help assess the pathogenicity of this variant (Zenagui et al 2018. PubMed ID: 29792937). This variant is reported in 0.048% of alleles in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent in gnomAD. Although we suspect that this variant may be pathogenic, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

This 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. -
