GeneDx RCV000442528 SCV000535478 uncertain significance not provided 2016-12-30 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the COL5A2 gene. The R302Q variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. This variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The R302Q variant is a semi-conservative amino acid substitution, which may impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in some properties. Furthermore, this substitution occurs within a triple helical region of the COL5A2 gene at a position that is conserved across species, and in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Nevertheless, R302Q does not affect a Glycine residue in a Gly-X-Y motif in the triple helical region of the COL5A2 gene, where the majority of pathogenic missense variants occur (Stenson et al., 2014; Symoens et al., 2012). However, in contrast to several other collagen genes, relatively few pathogenic Glycine substitutions have been reported in COL5A2 in association with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Most pathogenic variants in COL5A2 are in-frame splice site changes that cause exon skipping (Symoens et al., 2012).Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is pathogenic or rare benign.
