Added comment: Gorman et al. (2019 - doi.org/10.1016/j.ajhg.2019.03.005) report on 6 individuals from 3 unrelated families, with biallelic LoF CACNA1B variants. The phenotype corresponds to a developmental epilepic encephalopathy with hyperkinetic movement disorder (ID was a universal feature, DD and/or regression occurred prior to the onset of seizures in several individuals) .

CACNA1B encodes calcium channel, voltage-dependent N type, α-1B subunit (Ca v2.2). As commented by the authors, Ca v2.1 and v2.2 are important for SNARE-mediated release of neurotransmitters through modulation of Ca+2 levels. In addition, Ca v2.2 has been postulated to have a role in synaptic plasticity, synaptogenesis, migration of immature neurons, etc. It is thought to have a crucial role in neurotransmission in the early postnatal period (Ca v2.2 channels are subsequently replaced by Ca v2.1 in mature synapses within the thalamus, cerebellum and auditory brainstem). Knockout mice display neurodevelopmental abnormalities including impaired locomotor activity and memory impairment (all ref. cited within the article).

3 sibs, born to 1st cousin parents, harbored p.Leu1222Argfs*29 (NM_000718.4:c.3665del) in the homozygous state. One additional individual was homozygous for p.Arg383*. Compound heterozygosity for a frameshift and a splicing variant (p,Gly1192Cysfs* and c.4857+1G>C) was identified in 2 sibs from a 3rd family.

Expression/functional studies have not been performed for any of the variants reported.

In OMIM, monoallelic CACNA1B pathogenic variants are associated with ?Dystonia 23 (MIM 614860) based on the identification of a heterozygous missense (R1389H) mutation in members of a Dutch with myoclonus-dystonia syndrome (Groen et al. 2015 - PMID: 25296916).

As a result, this gene can be considered for inclusion in the epilepsy and ID panels as green (or amber).
