Invitae RCV001057570 SCV001222069 uncertain significance Long QT syndrome 2021-09-15 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing 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. This variant disrupts the p.Arg860 amino acid residue in CACNA1C. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with CACNA1C-related conditions (PMID: 25633834; Invitae), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 190654). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of long QT syndrome (PMID: 28600387, 28616568, 29071820, 31408100; Invitae). This variant is present in population databases (rs730880056, ExAC 0.003%). This sequence change replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 860 of the CACNA1C protein (p.Arg860Gln). The arginine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between arginine and glutamine.
Ambry Genetics RCV002453578 SCV002739588 uncertain significance Cardiovascular phenotype 2020-03-29 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.R860Q variant (also known as c.2579G>A), located in coding exon 19 of the CACNA1C gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2579. The arginine at codon 860 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been reported in long QT syndrome (LQTS) cases; however, in some cases clinical details were limited and/or an additional cardiac variant was also detected (Mellor G et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet, 2017 Jun;10:[Epub ahead of print]; Boles U et al. Int J Cardiol Heart Vasc, 2017 Jun;15:21-23; Seo SH et al. Ann Lab Med, 2018 Jan;38:54-58). Alternate amino acid substitutions at this codon, p.R860G and p.R860P, have also been associated with LQTS (Mellor GJ et al. Europace, 2019 Nov;21:1725-1732). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
