ClinVar

Description

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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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 not expected to disrupt CACNA1F protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 858119). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CACNA1F-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs782241013, gnomAD 0.03%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 998 of the CACNA1F protein (p.Arg998Gln).
