Athena Diagnostics RCV000517293 SCV000612549 likely pathogenic not provided 2022-04-14 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant segregates with episodic ataxia in one family (PMID: 10987655) and is also reported in an unrelated individual with pure cerebellar ataxia (PMID: 29482223). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). In some published literature, this variant is referred to as Arg1666His or Arg1660His. Computational tools predict that this variant is damaging.
GeneDx RCV000517293 SCV000617514 pathogenic not provided 2023-09-10 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 16325861, 11179022, 11814735, 26814174, 28742085, 34507393, 29482223, 34758253, 10987655, 35401678, 34806130)

Invitae RCV001381850 SCV001580407 pathogenic Episodic ataxia type 2; Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 42 2024-01-06 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1661 of the CACNA1A protein (p.Arg1661His). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of, or diagnosis of, episodic ataxia (PMID: 10987655, 29482223). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as Arg1666His. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 8495). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt CACNA1A protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Genetic Services Laboratory, University of Chicago RCV000517293 SCV002064442 likely pathogenic not provided 2021-02-16 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing DNA sequence analysis of the CACNA1A gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.4982G>A, in exon 32 that results in an amino acid change, p.Arg1661His. This sequence change has not been described in the gnomAD general population database. This sequence change has been described in a family with episodic ataxia type 2 and familial hemiplegic migraine, and was shown to co-segregate with the disease phenotype (PMID: 10987655). The p.Arg1661His change affects a highly conserved amino acid residue located in the S4 transmembrane segment of domain IV of the CACNA1A protein. It appears to be deleterious using several in-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL). Collectively these evidences suggests this p.Arg1661His variant is likely pathogenic, however functional studies have not been performed to prove this conclusively.
