Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PM2PP3_Moderate
The NM_000426.4(LAMA2):c.6691C>T(p.Arg2231Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000199 in 1,610,716 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R2231H) has been classified as Likely benign.

LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy    Uncertain:1 
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 2231 of the LAMA2 protein (p.Arg2231Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs374815503, gnomAD 0.007%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LAMA2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1370582). 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 not expected to disrupt LAMA2 protein function. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a 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. -
not provided    Uncertain:1 
Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; In silico analysis suggests this variant may impact gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown. -
