Description
The A961T variant in the CACNA1G gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. However, GeneDx has observed this de novo variant in individuals referred for XomeDx analysis with clinical findings of developmental delay, hypotonia, seizures, and digital anomalies including syndactyly, polydactyly, or broad thumbs and halluces. The A961T variant was not observed in approximately 6200 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 A961T variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species, and in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Therefore, we interpret A961T as a pathogenic variant.
