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 sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu2111Argfs*15) in the CACNA1C gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 28 amino acid(s) of the CACNA1C protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs771708175, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CACNA1C-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 190695). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The c.6329dupG variant, located in coding exon 47 of the CACNA1C gene, results from a duplication of G at nucleotide position 6329, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.E2111Rfs*15). This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theCACNA1C gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNAdecay, and only impacts the last 1% of the protein. The exact functional effect of this alteration is unknown. According to data from gnomAD, the frequency for this variant is above the maximum credible frequency for a cardiac disease-causing variant in this gene based on internally established thresholds (Karczewski et al. Nature. 2020 May;581(7809):434-443; Whiffin et al. Genet Med. 2017 10;19:1151-1158). Based on the supporting evidence, the association of this alteration with CACNA1C-related neurodevelopmental disorder is unknown; however, the association with CACNA1C-related Timothy syndrome or long QT syndrome is unlikely. -
