Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 20 ACMG points: 20P and 0B. PS1_Very_Strong PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Moderate

The NM_001848.3(COL6A1):​c.868G>C​(p.Gly290Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 14/22 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Pathogenic in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G290E) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Genes affected

COL6A1 (HGNC:2211): (collagen type VI alpha 1 chain) The collagens are a superfamily of proteins that play a role in maintaining the integrity of various tissues. Collagens are extracellular matrix proteins and have a triple-helical domain as their common structural element. Collagen VI is a major structural component of microfibrils. The basic structural unit of collagen VI is a heterotrimer of the alpha1(VI), alpha2(VI), and alpha3(VI) chains. The alpha2(VI) and alpha3(VI) chains are encoded by the COL6A2 and COL6A3 genes, respectively. The protein encoded by this gene is the alpha 1 subunit of type VI collagen (alpha1(VI) chain). Mutations in the genes that code for the collagen VI subunits result in the autosomal dominant disorder, Bethlem myopathy. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 20 ACMG points.

• PS1: Transcript NM_001848.3 (COL6A1) is affected with MISSENSE_VARIANT having same AA change as one Pathogenic present in ClinVar.
• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 12 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 2 benign, 4 uncertain in NM_001848.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr21-45989618-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 803640.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.994
• PP5: Variant 21-45989617-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr21-45989617-G-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 17181.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This variant disrupts the triple helix domain of COL6A1. 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, variants at these glycine residues are significantly enriched in individuals with autosomal dominant disease (PMID: 15689448, 24038877) compared to the general population (ExAC). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt COL6A1 protein function. This sequence change replaces glycine with arginine at codon 290 of the COL6A1 protein (p.Gly290Arg). The glycine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between glycine and arginine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of autosomal dominant COL6A1-related conditions (PMID: 16130093, 27363342). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17181). -
