RCV001223292 | SCV001395434 | pathogenic | Episodic ataxia type 2; Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 42 | 2019-06-19 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp514*) in the CACNA1A gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with CACNA1A-related conditions. Loss-of-function variants in CACNA1A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10371528, 19486177, 25735478, 27250579). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |

RCV002471049 | SCV002768720 | pathogenic | Episodic ataxia type 2 | 2021-05-06 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0103 - Loss of function and gain of function are known mechanisms of disease in this gene and are associated with CACNA1A-related disease. Episodic ataxia, type 2 (MIM#108500) is caused by variants with a loss of function mechanism (PMID: 28566750). (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. (I) 0112 - The condition associated with this gene has incomplete penetrance. Reduced penetrance has been reported for patients with episodic ataxia, type 2 (OMIM). (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity. Two families with episodic ataxia, intellectual disability and/or epilepsy have been reported with intrafamilial variability (PMID: 32910250, PMID: 30142438). (I) 0201 - Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein (premature termination codon is located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0701 - Other NMD-predicted variants comparable to the one identified in this case have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity. These variants have been reported many times as pathogenic, and observed in patients with cognitive impairments and episodic events (ClinVar, PMID: 31115040). (SP) 0803 - This variant has limited previous evidence of pathogenicity in an unrelated individual. This variant has been reported as pathogenic (ClinVar). (SP) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1206 - This variant has been shown to be paternally inherited (LABID). (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign |
