Genes affected
COL9A1 (HGNC:2217): (collagen type IX alpha 1 chain) This gene encodes one of the three alpha chains of type IX collagen, which is a minor (5-20%) collagen component of hyaline cartilage. Type IX collagen is usually found in tissues containing type II collagen, a fibrillar collagen. Studies in knockout mice have shown that synthesis of the alpha 1 chain is essential for assembly of type IX collagen molecules, a heterotrimeric molecule, and that lack of type IX collagen is associated with early onset osteoarthritis. Mutations in this gene are associated with osteoarthritis in humans, with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, 6, a form of chondrodysplasia, and with Stickler syndrome, a disease characterized by ophthalmic, orofacial, articular, and auditory defects. Two transcript variants that encode different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change falls in intron 8 of the COL9A1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the COL9A1 protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs672601329, gnomAD 0.04%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (PMID: 11565064). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17194). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in skipping of exons 8 and/or 10, but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (PMID: 11565064). 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. -

The COL9A1 c.876+2dupT variant is predicted to result in an intronic duplication. This variant was reported in the heterozygous state in a patient and the mother, both affected with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, while being absent from an unaffected sibling (described as IVS8+3, Czarny-Ratajczak et al. 2001. PubMed ID: 11565064). RNA isolated from patient lymphoblasts demonstrated this variant led to exon skipping resulting in at least three aberrant in-frame deletions (Czarny-Ratajczak et al. 2001. PubMed ID: 11565064). This variant is reported in 0.043% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
