RCV000498551 | SCV000589493 | likely pathogenic | not provided | 2015-10-13 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The E968X likely pathogenic variant in the CACNA1A gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The E968X variant was not observed in approximately 3000 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The E968X variant is a strong candidate for a pathogenic variant. However the possibility it may be a rare benign variant cannot be excluded. |
