RCV000170788 | SCV000223343 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2017-10-12 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | p.Met823Val (ATG>GTG): c.2467 A>G in exon 18 of the CACNA1C gene (NM_000719.6). The M823V variant has not been published as a mutation, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. The M823V variant was not observed in approximately 6,000 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. A missense mutations in a nearby residue (P817S) has been reported in association with familial arrhythmia, supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. In silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. However, the M823V variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. Furthermore, this substitution occurs at a position that is conserved in mammals. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic mutation or a rare benign variant. The variant is found in ARRHYTHMIA panel(s). |
