Genes affected
LAMA4 (HGNC:6484): (laminin subunit alpha 4) Laminins, a family of extracellular matrix glycoproteins, are the major noncollagenous constituent of basement membranes. They have been implicated in a wide variety of biological processes including cell adhesion, differentiation, migration, signaling, neurite outgrowth and metastasis. Laminins are composed of 3 non identical chains: laminin alpha, beta and gamma (formerly A, B1, and B2, respectively) and they form a cruciform structure consisting of 3 short arms, each formed by a different chain, and a long arm composed of all 3 chains. Each laminin chain is a multidomain protein encoded by a distinct gene. Several isoforms of each chain have been described. Different alpha, beta and gamma chain isomers combine to give rise to different heterotrimeric laminin isoforms which are designated by Arabic numerals in the order of their discovery, i.e. alpha1beta1gamma1 heterotrimer is laminin 1. The biological functions of the different chains and trimer molecules are largely unknown, but some of the chains have been shown to differ with respect to their tissue distribution, presumably reflecting diverse functions in vivo. This gene encodes the alpha chain isoform laminin, alpha 4. The domain structure of alpha 4 is similar to that of alpha 3, both of which resemble truncated versions of alpha 1 and alpha 2, in that approximately 1,200 residues at the N-terminus (domains IV, V and VI) have been lost. Laminin, alpha 4 contains the C-terminal G domain which distinguishes all alpha chains from the beta and gamma chains. The RNA analysis from adult and fetal tissues revealed developmental regulation of expression, however, the exact function of laminin, alpha 4 is not known. Tissue-specific utilization of alternative polyA-signal has been described in literature. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.

not specified Uncertain:1Benign:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineApr 03, 2012Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The Gly1271Gly vari ant in LAMA4 has been identified in 1/7020 European American chromosomes from a broad population by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington .edu/EVS/; dbSNP rs141988342). This variant is located in the last base of the e xon, which is part of the 5? splice region. Computational tools do not predict a severe effect on splicing; however, this information is not predictive enough t o rule out pathogenicity. Additional information is needed to fully assess the c linical significance of this variant. -
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxAug 24, 2015This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
Dilated cardiomyopathy 1JJ Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpNov 01, 2023This sequence change affects codon 1271 of the LAMA4 mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the LAMA4 protein. This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 28, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is present in population databases (rs141988342, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LAMA4-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 44379). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Benign:1
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJun 19, 2017This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
