NM_000426.4:c.437C>G
Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM5
The NM_000426.4(LAMA2):c.437C>G(p.Ser146Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000139 in 1,613,730 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. S146Y) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Variant summary: LAMA2 c.437C>G (p.Ser146Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Laminin, N-terminal domain (IPR008211) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00018 in 251462 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in LAMA2 causing Laminin Alpha 2-Related Dystrophy (0.00018 vs 0.0022), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.437C>G in individuals affected with Laminin Alpha 2-Related Dystrophy and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 543838). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
