RCV001378374 | SCV001575926 | likely pathogenic | Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, type 4 | 2020-10-19 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces glycine with aspartic acid at codon 1074 of the COL3A1 protein (p.Gly1074Asp). The glycine residue is moderately 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 not been reported in the literature in individuals with COL3A1-related conditions. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt COL3A1 protein function. This variant disrupts the triple helix domain of COL3A1. 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, variants that affect these glycine residues are significantly enriched in individuals with disease (PMID: 24922459, 25758994) compared to the general population (ExAC). 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. |
