Genes affected

COL1A1 (HGNC:2197): (collagen type I alpha 1 chain) This gene encodes the pro-alpha1 chains of type I collagen whose triple helix comprises two alpha1 chains and one alpha2 chain. Type I is a fibril-forming collagen found in most connective tissues and is abundant in bone, cornea, dermis and tendon. Mutations in this gene are associated with osteogenesis imperfecta types I-IV, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VIIA, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome Classical type, Caffey Disease and idiopathic osteoporosis. Reciprocal translocations between chromosomes 17 and 22, where this gene and the gene for platelet-derived growth factor beta are located, are associated with a particular type of skin tumor called dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, resulting from unregulated expression of the growth factor. Two transcripts, resulting from the use of alternate polyadenylation signals, have been identified for this gene. [provided by R. Dalgleish, Feb 2008]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.022525597 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.1, offset of 1, new splice context is: tgtgacttcccccaaccaAGgtc. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-50194448-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-50194448-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 456736.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Osteogenesis imperfecta type I Pathogenic:2

Jul 16, 2025

Clinical Biomedical Laboratory, Shriners Hospital For Children - Canada

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The variant affects a consensus acceptor splice site in COL1A1 and is expected to disrupt RNA splicing leading to haploinsufficiency. This variant is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1). Variants affecting the same nucleotide (COL1A1 c.1516-1G>T; c.1516-1G>T) have been published as causes of osteogenesis imperfecta (PMID 25963598, 12590186). -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 456736). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with osteogenesis imperfecta (PMID: 12590186, 25963598). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 22 of the COL1A1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in COL1A1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 7942841, 9295084, 9443882). -
