RCV000170844 | SCV000223399 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2011-11-28 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The Ile1234Asn variant in the CACNA1C gene has not been reported previously as a disease-causing mutation or as a benign polymorphism, to our knowledge. Ile1234Asn results in a non-conservative amino acid substitution of a non-polar Isoleucine with a neutral, polar Asparagine at a position that is conserved throughout evolution. In silico analysis predicts this change to be possibly damaging to the structure/function of the protein and disease-causing. Additionally, Ile1234Asn was not observed in up to 200 control alleles from individuals of African American ancestry tested at GeneDx, indicating it is not a common benign variant in this population. Nevertheless, Ile1234Asn is located in a region of the CACNA1C gene with no other reported mutations, indicating this region of the protein may be tolerant of change. In summary, with the clinical and molecular information available at this time, we cannot unequivocally determine whether Ile1234Asn is a disease-causing mutation or a rare benign variant. The variant is found in LQT panel(s). |
