Genes affected
COL6A2 (HGNC:2212): (collagen type VI alpha 2 chain) This gene encodes one of the three alpha chains of type VI collagen, a beaded filament collagen found in most connective tissues. The product of this gene contains several domains similar to von Willebrand Factor type A domains. These domains have been shown to bind extracellular matrix proteins, an interaction that explains the importance of this collagen in organizing matrix components. Mutations in this gene are associated with Bethlem myopathy and Ullrich scleroatonic muscular dystrophy. Three transcript variants have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg468*) in the COL6A2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in COL6A2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19884007, 20976770). This variant is present in population databases (rs374669775, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive collagenopathy (PMID: 23326386, 29419890). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 565700). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

PM2_supporting: the highest population allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.0001001 (0.01%; 1/9990 alleles in Ashkenazi Jewish population) and the variant is absent from gnomAD v3.1.2 (adequate coverage >20X confirmed). The variant is absent from an internal database. PM1 met: this variant is in the collagen triple helix (TH) repeat domain together with other pathogenic variants (PMID 24038877). PS4_moderate: variant identified in at least 5 unrelated probands with consistent phenotype for disorder (PMID 23326386, 20976770, 37569848, 29419890). PVS1 met: null variant (nonsense, predicted to undergo NMD, exon is present in a biologically-relevant transcript in a gene where LOF is a known mechanism of disease).
