Genes affected

COL3A1 (HGNC:2201): (collagen type III alpha 1 chain) This gene encodes the pro-alpha1 chains of type III collagen, a fibrillar collagen that is found in extensible connective tissues such as skin, lung, uterus, intestine and the vascular system, frequently in association with type I collagen. Mutations in this gene are associated with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV, and with aortic and arterial aneurysms. [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 0.012269938 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6.7, offset of -17, new splice context is: ctgGTatga. 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 2-188990361-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-188990361-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 101155.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The c.798+1G>A intronic variant results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 10 of the COL3A1 gene. This variant was reported in individual(s) with features consistent with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) (Leistritz DF et al. Genet Med, 2011 Aug;13:717-22).This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice donor site. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic.
