Genes affected
LAMA2 (HGNC:6482): (laminin subunit alpha 2) Laminin, an extracellular protein, is a major component of the basement membrane. It is thought to mediate the attachment, migration, and organization of cells into tissues during embryonic development by interacting with other extracellular matrix components. It is composed of three subunits, alpha, beta, and gamma, which are bound to each other by disulfide bonds into a cross-shaped molecule. This gene encodes the alpha 2 chain, which constitutes one of the subunits of laminin 2 (merosin) and laminin 4 (s-merosin). Mutations in this gene have been identified as the cause of congenital merosin-deficient muscular dystrophy. Two transcript variants encoding different proteins have been found for this gene.

LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 21, 2024This sequence change falls in intron 38 of the LAMA2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the LAMA2 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs771046502, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with muscular dystrophy (PMID: 10611118, 12552556, 20207543). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is also known as IVS37+5G>C or c.5611+5G>C. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 197024). 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. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
