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]

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: The CACNA1C c.202G>A (p.Ala68Thr) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide and 2/3 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant (SNPsandGO and MutationTaster not captured here due to low reliability index and p-value, respectively). This variant was found in 41/261782 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0001566, predominantly observed in the European (Non-Finnish) subpopulation at a frequency of 0.000309 (37/119594). This frequency is about 31 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic CACNA1C variant (0.00001), suggesting this is likely a benign polymorphism found primarily in the populations of European (Non-Finnish) origin. This variant has been reported in multiple affected individuals without strong evidence for casualty. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as uncertain significance, without evidence for independent evaluation. Taken together, this variant is classified as likely benign. -
