Genes affected

LAMA4 (HGNC:6484): (laminin subunit alpha 4) Laminins, a family of extracellular matrix glycoproteins, are the major noncollagenous constituent of basement membranes. They have been implicated in a wide variety of biological processes including cell adhesion, differentiation, migration, signaling, neurite outgrowth and metastasis. Laminins are composed of 3 non identical chains: laminin alpha, beta and gamma (formerly A, B1, and B2, respectively) and they form a cruciform structure consisting of 3 short arms, each formed by a different chain, and a long arm composed of all 3 chains. Each laminin chain is a multidomain protein encoded by a distinct gene. Several isoforms of each chain have been described. Different alpha, beta and gamma chain isomers combine to give rise to different heterotrimeric laminin isoforms which are designated by Arabic numerals in the order of their discovery, i.e. alpha1beta1gamma1 heterotrimer is laminin 1. The biological functions of the different chains and trimer molecules are largely unknown, but some of the chains have been shown to differ with respect to their tissue distribution, presumably reflecting diverse functions in vivo. This gene encodes the alpha chain isoform laminin, alpha 4. The domain structure of alpha 4 is similar to that of alpha 3, both of which resemble truncated versions of alpha 1 and alpha 2, in that approximately 1,200 residues at the N-terminus (domains IV, V and VI) have been lost. Laminin, alpha 4 contains the C-terminal G domain which distinguishes all alpha chains from the beta and gamma chains. The RNA analysis from adult and fetal tissues revealed developmental regulation of expression, however, the exact function of laminin, alpha 4 is not known. Tissue-specific utilization of alternative polyA-signal has been described in literature. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.

Stanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease, Stanford University

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method:clinical testing

Note this variant was found in clinical genetic testing performed by one or more labs who may also submit to ClinVar. Thus any internal case data may overlap with the internal case data of other labs. The interpretation reviewed below is that of the Stanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease. LAMA4 p.Leu485His We classify this as a VUS-probably benign. This variant has not been published in the literature in association with cardiomyopathy. By contrast, it has been detected in presumably unaffected individuals in population datasets (see below). Furthermore, the LAMA4 gene might rightly be called a “gene of uncertain significance” given the paucity of data: there are only 2 variants listed in HGMD for this gene, both associated with DCM. No variation at residues near Leu485His has been associated with cardiomyopathy (HGMD professional version as of January 17, 2014). This is a non-conservative amino acid change, resulting in the replacement of a nonpolar Leucine with a positively-charged Histidine. This location is conserved across species. In silico analysis was inconsistent with regard to the effect on protein structure/function. In total the variant has been seen in 10 individuals from publicly available population datasets. It was observed in 10 individuals in the 1000 Genomes Project: 6 Han Chinese, 2 Japanese, and 2 Mexican (http://browser.1000genomes.org/index.htm) as of April 15, 2014. This raises the possibility that it may be a benign variant found more often in certain ethnicities. This variant is not listed in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project dataset (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/), which currently includes variant calls on ~3500 Caucasian and ~1800 African American individuals. The phenotype of the ESP individuals is not publicly available, however the cohorts that were merged to create this dataset were all either general population samples or samples recruited for common cardiovascular disease such as hypertension. It is listed in dpSNP as rs3752579, with multiple submitters including 1000 Genomes. -
