Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000557620 SCV000657082 pathogenic Bethlem myopathy 1A 2017-06-05 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. The glycine residue affected by this missense change (p.Gly290) lies within the triple helix region. Glycine residues within the triple helix region are crucial to maintain fibrillar collagens' structure and stability (PMID: 7695699, 19344236). In the case of COL6A1, missense substitutions that affect glycine residues within the triplex helix domain have been reported in many individuals affected with collagen VI myopathy (PMID: 24038877). This sequence change replaces glycine with tryptophan at codon 290 of the COL6A1 protein (p.Gly290Trp). The glycine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between glycine and tryptophan. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a COL6A1-related disease. Different missense substitutions at this codon (p.Gly290Glu, p.Gly290Arg) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 20976770, 16130093, 15689448, 24038877). This suggests that the glycine residue is critical for COL6A1 protein function and that other missense substitutions at this position may also be pathogenic.
