Invitae RCV000467433 SCV000563791 likely pathogenic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, type 4 2016-05-22 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant is a gross duplication of the genomic region encompassing exons 6-11 of the COL3A1 gene. While the exact position of the duplicated exons cannot be determined from this data, the duplicated copy of this region is likely in tandem and in-frame, therefore preserving the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a COL3A1-related disease. This variant duplicates a portion of the triple helix region of COL3A1. Glycine residues within the triple helix region are important for fibrillar collagens structure and stability (PMID: 7695699, 19344236). In the case of COL3A1, the majority of missense substitutions within the triple helix domain affect glycine residues (PMID: 24922459, 25758994). This variant extends the length of the triple helical domain and would likely destabilize the structure. Because this variant is expected to disrupt the stability of the triple helical region of the COL3A1 gene, it has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.
