Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000809935 SCV000950118 likely pathogenic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, type 4 2018-08-20 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces glycine with aspartic acid at codon 720 of the COL3A1 protein (p.Gly720Asp). The glycine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between glycine and aspartic acid. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in an individual affected with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (Invitae). Glycine residues within the Gly-Xaa-Yaa repeats of the triple helix domain are required for the structure and stability of fibrillar collagens (PMID: 7695699, 8218237, 19344236). In COL3A1, missense variants at these glycine residues are significantly enriched in individuals with disease (PMID: 24922459, 25758994) compared to the general population (ExAC). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.
