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 variant has been observed to co-segregate with disease in several families, including a large five-generation kindred, although it has been noted in asymptomatic relatives, suggesting incomplete penetrance (Fukuyama 2014, Gardner 2019). This variant is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The arginine at codon 858 is highly conserved, computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is deleterious, and functional analyses indicate an increased current density relative to wildtype protein (Fukuyama 2014). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be likely pathogenic. References: Fukuyama M et al.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 858 of the CACNA1C protein (p.Arg858His). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with long QT syndrome (PMID: 23174487, 23631430, 24728418, 29016939, 30345660). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 190653). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on CACNA1C protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CACNA1C function (PMID: 24728418). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.R858H variant (also known as c.2573G>A), located in coding exon 19 of the CACNA1C gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2573. The arginine at codon 858 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was detected in multiple individuals who met clinical criteria for long QT syndrome (LQTS), or had features of LQTS such as QTc prolongation or syncope; some of these individuals were related (Lieve KV et al. Genet Test Mol Biomarkers, 2013 Jul;17:553-61; Mullally J et al. Heart Rhythm, 2013 Mar;10:378-82; Fukuyama M et al. Europace, 2014 Dec;16:1828-37; Hellenthal N et al. Europace, 2017 Nov;19:1881-1890; Gardner RJM et al. Mol Genet Genomic Med, 2019 01;7:e00476; Fukuyama M et al. Circ J, 2020 03;84:559-568). This variant was also detected in multiple sudden death cases, one of which had cardiac findings (Hellenthal N et al. Europace, 2017 Nov;19:1881-1890; Larsen MK et al. Int J Legal Med, 2020 Jan;134:111-121). In vitro functional studies suggest that this alteration may impact protein function; however, the clinical significance of these studies is undetermined (Fukuyama M et al. Europace, 2014 Dec;16:1828-37). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is expected to be causative of long QT syndrome (LQTS); however, its clinical significance for Timothy syndrome is unclear. -
