RCV003994660 | SCV004812490 | likely pathogenic | Alport syndrome | 2023-07-07 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change in COL4A3 is predicted to replace glycine with valine at codon 596, p.(Gly596Val). The glycine residue is highly conserved (81 vertebrates, UCSC) and is a glycine-altering variant that alters a critical glycine residue in a collagen triple helix repeat (Gly-X-Y) in the alpha-IV collagenous domain. Glycine substitutions within this functional domain have a well-established pathogenic dominant-negative effect (PMID: 20301386). There is a large physicochemical difference between glycine and valine. This variant is absent from the population database gnomAD v2.1 and v3.1. To our knowledge, this variant has not been previously reported in the relevant scientific literature or databases. Computational evidence predicts a deleterious effect for the missense substitution (REVEL = 0.953). Another missense variant (c.1786G>C, p.Gly596Arg) in the same codon with a similar physicochemical difference has been classified as likely pathogenic and reported in a patient with COL4A3-related Alport Syndrome (PMID: 14871398). Based on the classification scheme RMH Modified ACMG/AMP Guidelines v1.6.1, this variant is classified as LIKELY PATHOGENIC. Following criteria are met: PM1, PM2_Supporting, PM5, PP3_Moderate. |
