Genes affected

COL3A1 (HGNC:2201): (collagen type III alpha 1 chain) This gene encodes the pro-alpha1 chains of type III collagen, a fibrillar collagen that is found in extensible connective tissues such as skin, lung, uterus, intestine and the vascular system, frequently in association with type I collagen. Mutations in this gene are associated with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV, and with aortic and arterial aneurysms. [provided by R. Dalgleish, Feb 2008]

A different variant affecting this nucleotide (c.1977+5G>A) has been reported in an individual affected with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (PMID: 25758994). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with COL3A1-related disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change falls in intron 28 of the COL3A1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the COL3A1 protein, but it affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site of the intron. -
