Genes affected

COL3A1 (HGNC:2201): (collagen type III alpha 1 chain) This gene encodes the pro-alpha1 chains of type III collagen, a fibrillar collagen that is found in extensible connective tissues such as skin, lung, uterus, intestine and the vascular system, frequently in association with type I collagen. Mutations in this gene are associated with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV, and with aortic and arterial aneurysms. [provided by R. Dalgleish, Feb 2008]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 0 ACMG points.

• PP2: Missense variant in the COL3A1 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 495 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 19 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 4.0879 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 4.5995 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, vascular type, polymicrogyria with or without vascular-type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, autosomal dominant Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, vascular type.
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.33025348).

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Q6H variant (also known as c.18A>C), located in coding exon 1 of the COL3A1 gene, results from an A to C substitution at nucleotide position 18. The glutamine at codon 6 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been reported in a language impairment cohort (Chen XS et al. Sci Rep, 2017 Apr;7:46105). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. -

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, type 4 Uncertain:1

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 6 of the COL3A1 protein (p.Gln6His). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with COL3A1-related conditions. 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 COL3A1 protein function. 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. -
