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]

COL3A1 NM_000090.3 exon 45 p.Arg1109Gly (c.3325C>G): This variant has not been reported in the literature but is present in 0.02% (13/64552) of European alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/2-189007569-C-G?dataset=gnomad_r3). This variant is present in ClinVar (Variation ID:199742). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools suggest that this variant may impact the protein. In summary, data on this variant is insufficient for disease classification. Therefore, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces arginine with glycine at codon 1109 of the COL3A1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with cardiovascular disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 28/281702 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1109 of the COL3A1 protein (p.Arg1109Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs112371422, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with COL3A1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 199742). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on 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.

Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; Occurs in the triple helical domain at the Y position in the canonical Gly-X-Y repeat; although this variant may have an effect on normal protein folding and function, missense substitution at the Y position is not a common mechanism of disease (HGMD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

This 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.

Variant summary: COL3A1 c.3325C>G (p.Arg1109Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-05 in 250338 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in COL3A1 causing Polymicrogyria with or without vascular-type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.3325C>G in individuals affected with Polymicrogyria with or without vascular-type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 199742). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.
