Counsyl RCV000668321 SCV000792899 likely pathogenic Merosin deficient congenital muscular dystrophy 2017-08-03 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV001855494 SCV002212183 pathogenic LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy 2021-07-31 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 552966). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LAMA2-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys318Leufs*20) in the LAMA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in LAMA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18700894).

Ambry Genetics RCV002530740 SCV003760195 pathogenic Inborn genetic diseases 2021-02-01 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.951_952insCT (p.C318Lfs*20) alteration, located in exon 7 (coding exon 7) of the LAMA2 gene, consists of an insertion of CT at position 951, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon after 20 amino acids. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) database, the LAMA2 c.951_952insCT alteration was observed in 0.0004% (1/251,280) of total alleles studied. This alteration was reported homozygous in a male patient with congenital muscular dystrophy (Pegoraro, 1998). A muscle biopsy at 7 months of age showed complete laminin alpha2 deficiency. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic.
