Genes affected

COL6A2 (HGNC:2212): (collagen type VI alpha 2 chain) This gene encodes one of the three alpha chains of type VI collagen, a beaded filament collagen found in most connective tissues. The product of this gene contains several domains similar to von Willebrand Factor type A domains. These domains have been shown to bind extracellular matrix proteins, an interaction that explains the importance of this collagen in organizing matrix components. Mutations in this gene are associated with Bethlem myopathy and Ullrich scleroatonic muscular dystrophy. Three transcript variants have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.020588236 fraction of the gene. No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal is inframe change.
• PP5: Variant 21-46121554-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr21-46121554-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 476452.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr21-46121554-A-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this variant leads to the use of a cryptic splice site in exon 18, causing a frameshift and premature termination codon which is expected to result in nonsense mediated decay (PMID: 11381124). This variant is also reported to occur de novo in an unrelated individual affected with UCMD. A second pathogenic variant was not found in this individual (PMID: 11381124). This variant has been observed on the opposite chromosome (in trans) from a pathogenic variant in two siblings affected with Ullrich congenital myopathy (UCMD) (PMID: 11381124). This finding is consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance, and suggests that this variant contributes to disease. This variant is present in population databases (rs749974929, ExAC 0.002%). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 17 of the COL6A2 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
