Genes affected
COL6A1 (HGNC:2211): (collagen type VI alpha 1 chain) The collagens are a superfamily of proteins that play a role in maintaining the integrity of various tissues. Collagens are extracellular matrix proteins and have a triple-helical domain as their common structural element. Collagen VI is a major structural component of microfibrils. The basic structural unit of collagen VI is a heterotrimer of the alpha1(VI), alpha2(VI), and alpha3(VI) chains. The alpha2(VI) and alpha3(VI) chains are encoded by the COL6A2 and COL6A3 genes, respectively. The protein encoded by this gene is the alpha 1 subunit of type VI collagen (alpha1(VI) chain). Mutations in the genes that code for the collagen VI subunits result in the autosomal dominant disorder, Bethlem myopathy. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -1 ACMG points.

BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.0000919 (14/152362) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.000162 (11/68036). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0000905. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 10 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 35. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

The c.2611G>A (p.V871M) alteration is located in exon 35 (coding exon 35) of the COL6A1 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2611, causing the valine (V) at amino acid position 871 to be replaced by a methionine (M). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
