| Invitae | RCV001247021 | SCV001420418 | uncertain significance | Bethlem myopathy 1 | 2019-10-03 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces glycine with arginine at codon 553 of the COL6A1 protein (p.Gly553Arg). The glycine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between glycine and arginine. 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 COL6A1, missense variants at these glycine residues are significantly enriched in individuals with disease (PMID: 15689448, 24038877) compared to the general population (ExAC). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has been observed to segregate with Bethlem myopathy in a family (PMID: 30706156). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). |
