Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points: 14P and 0B. PM2PM5PP2PP3PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000719.7(CACNA1C):c.4418C>G(p.Ala1473Gly) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A1473P) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.
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]
Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.
PM2
?
PM2 - Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive) in Exome Sequencing Project, 1000 Genomes Project, or Exome Aggregation Consortium
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PM5
?
PM5 - Novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different missense change determined to be pathogenic has been seen before
Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr12-2665599-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1700075.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
PP2
?
PP2 - Missense variant in a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and in which missense variants are a common mechanism of disease
Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, CACNA1C
PP3
?
PP3 - Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc.)
Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
PP5
?
PP5 - Reputable source recently reports variant as pathogenic, but the evidence is not available to the laboratory to perform an independent evaluation
Variant 12-2665600-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-2665600-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 196966.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
