Genes affected

COL6A3 (HGNC:2213): (collagen type VI alpha 3 chain) This gene encodes the alpha-3 chain, one of the three alpha chains of type VI collagen, a beaded filament collagen found in most connective tissues. The alpha-3 chain of type VI collagen is much larger than the alpha-1 and -2 chains. This difference in size is largely due to an increase in the number of subdomains, similar to von Willebrand Factor type A domains, that are found in the amino terminal globular domain of all the alpha chains. 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 the type VI collagen genes are associated with Bethlem myopathy, a rare autosomal dominant proximal myopathy with early childhood onset. Mutations in this gene are also a cause of Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy, also referred to as Ullrich scleroatonic muscular dystrophy, an autosomal recessive congenital myopathy that is more severe than Bethlem myopathy. Multiple transcript variants have been identified, but the full-length nature of only some of these variants has been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2009]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The missense c.8201G>Ap.Arg2734Gln variant in COL6A3 gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The variant has been reported with allele frequency of 0.008% in gnomAD Exomes and is novel not in any individuals in 1000 Genomes database. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Likely Benign. The amino acid change p.Arg2734Gln in COL6A3 is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. The amino acid Arg at position 2734 is changed to a Gln changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Variant of Uncertain Significance VUS.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.8201G>A (p.R2734Q) alteration is located in exon 38 (coding exon 37) of the COL6A3 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 8201, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 2734 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
