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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -14 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.05 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 7.5, offset of 0 (no position change), new splice context is: gaccctgccaccccccccAGact. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
BP6
Variant 21-46125455-A-AC is Benign according to our data. Variant chr21-46125455-A-AC is described in ClinVar as Benign. ClinVar VariationId is 93925.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BA1
GnomAd4 highest subpopulation (EAS) allele frequency at 95% confidence interval = 0.335 is higher than 0.05.
