Genes affected

CACNA1A (HGNC:1388): (calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 A) Voltage-dependent calcium channels mediate the entry of calcium ions into excitable cells, and are also involved in a variety of calcium-dependent processes, including muscle contraction, hormone or neurotransmitter release, and gene expression. Calcium channels are multisubunit complexes composed of alpha-1, beta, alpha-2/delta, and gamma subunits. The channel activity is directed by the pore-forming alpha-1 subunit, whereas, the others act as auxiliary subunits regulating this activity. The distinctive properties of the calcium channel types are related primarily to the expression of a variety of alpha-1 isoforms, alpha-1A, B, C, D, E, and S. This gene encodes the alpha-1A subunit, which is predominantly expressed in neuronal tissue. Mutations in this gene are associated with 2 neurologic disorders, familial hemiplegic migraine and episodic ataxia 2. This gene also exhibits polymorphic variation due to (CAG)n-repeats. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. In one set of transcript variants, the (CAG)n-repeats occur in the 3' UTR, and are not associated with any disease. But in another set of variants, an insertion extends the coding region to include the (CAG)n-repeats which encode a polyglutamine tract. Expansion of the (CAG)n-repeats from the normal 4-18 to 21-33 in the coding region is associated with spinocerebellar ataxia 6. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

This sequence change affects codon 697 of the CACNA1A mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the CACNA1A protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CACNA1A-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 446906). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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. -

CACNA1A NM_001127222.1 exon 16 p.Leu696= (c.2088G>A): This variant has not been reported in the literature and is not present in large control databases. This variant is present in ClinVar (Variation ID:446906). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools for this variant are limited or unavailable. Of note, this variant is a silent variant and does not change the amino acid, reducing the probability that this variant is disease causing. In summary, data on this variant is insufficient for disease classification. Therefore, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. -
