The Leu644Trp variant in the CACNA1C gene has not been reported as a disease-causing mutation or as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. The Leu644Trp variant is a conservative amino acid substitution as these residues share similar properties, and are least likely to impact secondary structure. The Leu644 residue is conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts Leu644Trp is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. The Leu644Trp variant was not observed in approximately 6500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. However, no other disease-causing mutations have been reported in surrounding residues of the CACNA1C protein, indicating this region may be tolerant of change. With the clinical and molecular information available at this time, we cannot definitively determine if Leu644Trp is a disease-causing mutation or a rare benign variant. The variant is found in LQT panel(s).
