RCV003014190 | SCV003317203 | uncertain significance | Bethlem myopathy 1A | 2022-10-28 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | 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. This variant disrupts the triple helix domain of COL6A2. 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 COL6A2, missense variants at these glycine residues are significantly enriched in individuals with autosomal dominant disease (PMID: 15689448, 24038877) compared to the general population (ExAC). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. This variant is also known as c.1046_1053+1del. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of autosomal dominant COL6A2-related conditions (Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant, c.1045_1053del, results in the deletion of 3 amino acid(s) of the COL6A2 protein (p.Asn350_Gly352del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 11, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. |
