The complexities of CACNA1A in clinical neurogenetics

Marina P. Hommersom et al.

Summary: Variants in the CACNA1A gene can lead to various phenotypes beyond the classic ataxia-related disorders, presenting challenges in neurogenetic diagnostics. Accessible functional read-outs are crucial for cases with non-classic phenotypes.

Genotype-phenotype correlation of CACNA1A variants in children with epilepsy

Xueyang Niu et al.

Summary: Children with epilepsy and CACNA1A variants commonly exhibit early onset of seizures, developmental delay, and various seizure types. Focal seizures are the most common type, with many patients experiencing status epilepticus. Unilateral cerebral atrophy can occur after focal motor status epilepticus, particularly in patients with variants in the transmembrane region of CACNA1A.

The CACNA1A Mutant Disrupts Lysosome Calcium Homeostasis in Cerebellar Neurons and the Resulting Endo-Lysosomal Fusion Defect Can be Improved by Calcium Modulation

Feng Zhu et al.

Summary: Mutations in the P/Q type voltage gated calcium channel (VGCC) gene, CACNA1A, lead to severe neurological diseases in humans. Studies on mutant mice have revealed that these mutations affect lysosomal calcium storage in neurons, leading to axonal degeneration in the cerebellum. Treatment with calcium modulating drugs can alleviate lysosomal dysfunction in mutant neurons, providing potential directions for pharmacological treatment of these neurodegenerative diseases.

Clinical phenotypes of infantile onset CACNA1A-related disorder

Tamar Gur-Hartman et al.

Summary: The study revealed that the phenotypes in infantile-onset CACNA1A-related disorders mainly include cerebellar ataxia and paroxysmal non-epileptic events, with overlap in the majority of patients. Some patients may develop epilepsy in later childhood.

Two Missense CACNA1A Variants in a Single Family with Variable Neurobehavioral, Cerebellar, Epileptic, and Oculomotor Features

Pin-Yi Ko et al.

Summary: Novel missense variants in CACNA1A were found in a family with varying severity of ataxia, neurobehavioral impairments, and epilepsy. The most severe outcome was seen in a compound heterozygous proband, with effective seizure control achieved using acetazolamide and lamotrigine.

Biallelic variants in genes previously associated with dominant inheritance: CACNA1A, RET and SLC20A2

A. Arteche-Lopez et al.

Summary: This study identified families with co-dominant or recessive inheritance in genes previously associated with dominant inheritance, showing more severe or different phenotypes than their dominant counterparts. Patients harbored homozygous disease-related variants in three genes, resulting in a more severe clinical phenotype. It is suggested that geneticists should be aware of different forms of inheritance in genes to improve WES diagnostic capacity.

CACNA1A-associated epilepsy: Electroclinical findings and treatment response on seizures in 18 patients

Marie Le Roux et al.

Summary: CACNA1A pathogenic mutations are associated with various neurological phenotypes, including epilepsy. This study found that patients carrying CACNA1A mutations exhibit severe early onset seizures, accompanied by cerebellar dysfunction and intellectual developmental delay.
