RCV000809044 | SCV000949181 | likely pathogenic | Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, type 4 | 2018-08-29 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant, c.3440_3466del, results in the deletion of 9 amino acid(s) of the COL3A1 protein (p.Pro1147_Gly1155del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in an individual affected with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (PMID: 24922459). 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). This variant affects four Gly-Xaa-Yaa repeats and is therefore likely to be causative of disease. 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. |
