Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -6 ACMG points: 1P and 7B. PP3BP4_ModerateBS1_SupportingBS2

The NM_001853.4(COL9A3):​c.388G>A​(p.Gly130Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00108 in 1,610,366 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 3 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G130V) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected
COL9A3 (HGNC:2219): (collagen type IX alpha 3 chain) This gene encodes one of the three alpha chains of type IX collagen, the major collagen component of hyaline cartilage. Type IX collagen, a heterotrimeric molecule, is usually found in tissues containing type II collagen, a fibrillar collagen. Mutations in this gene are associated with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia type 3. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

Reported in association with age-related macular degeneration and unspecified retinal and optical nerve disorders (PMID: 24036952); Reported to segregate with autosomal dominant disease in a family with bilateral vitreoretinal lattice degeneration (PMID: 33633367); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 32483926, 35241111, 36621380, 24036952, 33633367) -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 130 of the COL9A3 protein (p.Gly130Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs139401633, gnomAD 0.1%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant vitreoretinal degeneration and/or blindness (PMID: 32483926, 33633367). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 392918). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt COL9A3 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as VUS-3C Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with Stickler syndrome and epiphyseal dysplasia, with or without myopathy (MIM#600969). (I) 0108 - This gene is associated with both recessive and dominant disease. Autosomal recessive inheritance is associated with Stickler syndrome (PMIDs: 24273071, 31090205), while autosomal dominant inheritance is associated with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, with or without myopathy, and more recently with isolated deafness and retinal phenotypes that overlap with Stickler syndrome (PMID: 33633367). (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity. Intra- and inter-familial phenotypic variability has been observed in individuals with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (PMID: 20301302). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from glycine to serine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD v2 <0.01 for a recessive condition (228 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0601 - Variant is located at a glycine position within a G-X-Y triple helical repeat (DECIPHER, PMID: 33633367). (SP) 0705 - No comparable missense variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. (I) 0808 - Previous reports of pathogenicity for this variant are conflicting. This variant has been reported as a VUS five times by clinical laboratories in ClinVar, and once as likely pathogenic in a family with vitreoretinal degeneration and reitinal detachment (PMID: 33633367). (I) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1205 - This variant has been shown to be maternally inherited (by trio analysis). (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -
