Arina Puzriakova (Genomics England Curator)

The mode of inheritance of this gene has been updated to 'BOTH monoallelic and biallelic, autosomal or pseudoautosomal' following NHS Genomic Medicine Service approval.

Helen Brittain (Genomics England Curator)

Comment when marking as ready: De novo missense variants implicated in EIEE. Note that CACNA1A is responsible for other neurological phenotypes, including familial hemiplegic migraine caused by missense variants. However episodic ataxia / SCA6 are caused by a triplet repeat and therefore incidental findings of this nature would not be expected to be tiered.

Comment on mode of pathogenicity: De novo missense reported to date

Green List (high evidence)

PMIDs: 36063114; 34267336; 33445191; 27250579 all report biallelic CACNA1A variants in cases of Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 42 (OMIM:617106), therefore the mode of inheritance should be changed from MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, imprinted status unknown to BOTH monoallelic and biallelic, autosomal or pseudoautosomal.

Panel Version: 3.1707
The clinical features of epileptic encephalopathy, early infantile, 42 617106 include developmental delay and moderate to severe intellectual disability. Associated with phenotype in OMIM and as a possible G2P. Four different misense variants have been reported in five cases (including 2 sibs) of epileptic encephalopathy, early infantile, 42 617106. All were de novo except for the variant in the sibblings, which resulted from maternal somatic mosaicism.
