RCV004720619 | SCV005329336 | uncertain significance | Merosin deficient congenital muscular dystrophy | 2023-05-20 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The observed missense c.1199C>G(p.Pro400Arg) variant in LAMA2 gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. This variant is reported with the allele frequency of 0.001% in the gnomAD Exomes. The amino acid Pro at position 400 is changed to a Arg changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. The amino acid change p.Pro400Arg in LAMA2 is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. Multiple lines of computational evidence (Polyphen - Possibly Damaging, SIFT - Damaging and MutationTaster - Disease causing) predict a damaging effect on protein structure and function for this variant. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Uncertain Significance. The same variant in LAMA2 [c.1199C>G(p.Pro400Arg)] gene has been detected in heterozygous state in mother and another variant in LAMA2 [c.7040G>T(p.Gly2347Val)] gene has been detected in heterozygous state in father . |
