Genes affected

LAMA2 (HGNC:6482): (laminin subunit alpha 2) Laminin, an extracellular protein, is a major component of the basement membrane. It is thought to mediate the attachment, migration, and organization of cells into tissues during embryonic development by interacting with other extracellular matrix components. It is composed of three subunits, alpha, beta, and gamma, which are bound to each other by disulfide bonds into a cross-shaped molecule. This gene encodes the alpha 2 chain, which constitutes one of the subunits of laminin 2 (merosin) and laminin 4 (s-merosin). Mutations in this gene have been identified as the cause of congenital merosin-deficient muscular dystrophy. Two transcript variants encoding different proteins have been found for this gene.

Variant summary: LAMA2 c.8761G>A (p.Asp2921Asn) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of four in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0001 in 251280 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in LAMA2 causing Merosin deficient congenital muscular dystrophy (0.0001 vs 0.0035), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.8761G>A in individuals affected with Merosin deficient congenital muscular dystrophy and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 477521). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
