Genes affected

LAMA4 (HGNC:6484): (laminin subunit alpha 4) Laminins, a family of extracellular matrix glycoproteins, are the major noncollagenous constituent of basement membranes. They have been implicated in a wide variety of biological processes including cell adhesion, differentiation, migration, signaling, neurite outgrowth and metastasis. Laminins are composed of 3 non identical chains: laminin alpha, beta and gamma (formerly A, B1, and B2, respectively) and they form a cruciform structure consisting of 3 short arms, each formed by a different chain, and a long arm composed of all 3 chains. Each laminin chain is a multidomain protein encoded by a distinct gene. Several isoforms of each chain have been described. Different alpha, beta and gamma chain isomers combine to give rise to different heterotrimeric laminin isoforms which are designated by Arabic numerals in the order of their discovery, i.e. alpha1beta1gamma1 heterotrimer is laminin 1. The biological functions of the different chains and trimer molecules are largely unknown, but some of the chains have been shown to differ with respect to their tissue distribution, presumably reflecting diverse functions in vivo. This gene encodes the alpha chain isoform laminin, alpha 4. The domain structure of alpha 4 is similar to that of alpha 3, both of which resemble truncated versions of alpha 1 and alpha 2, in that approximately 1,200 residues at the N-terminus (domains IV, V and VI) have been lost. Laminin, alpha 4 contains the C-terminal G domain which distinguishes all alpha chains from the beta and gamma chains. The RNA analysis from adult and fetal tissues revealed developmental regulation of expression, however, the exact function of laminin, alpha 4 is not known. Tissue-specific utilization of alternative polyA-signal has been described in literature. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1591 of the LAMA4 protein (p.Ala1591Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs202176359, gnomAD 0.04%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 30847666). This variant is also known as c.4792G>T (p.Ala1598Ser). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 228783). 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 not expected to disrupt LAMA4 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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. -

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.3, this variant is classified as 3C-VUS. Following criteria are met: 0105 - The mechanism of disease for this gene is not clearly established although current evidence in the literature suggests loss of function as a mechanism of disease (PMIDs: 16204254, 17646580). (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease, however a recent review has classified the inheritance pattern associated with LAMA4 as unknown (PMID: 23274168). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from alanine to serine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0302 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2) <0.001 for a dominant condition (57 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0309 - An alternative amino acid change at the same position has been observed in gnomAD (v2) (p.Ala1598Gly: 2 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (I) 0502 - Missense variant with conflicting in silico predictions and uninformative conservation. (I) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated Laminin G domain (NCBI conserved domain). (I) 0705 - No comparable missense variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. (I) 0809 - Previous evidence of pathogenicity for this variant is inconclusive. This variant has previously been classified as a variant of uncertain significance (ClinVar, PMID: 30847666). (I) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual.

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Ala1591Ser variant in LAMA4 has been identified by our laboratory in 1 chi ld with LVNC who carried another variant more likely responsible for disease. Th e p.Ala1591Ser variant has been identified in 18/66692 European chromosomes by t he Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs2 02176359). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis do not provi de strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, the clini cal significance of the p.Ala1591Ser variant is uncertain. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.A1591S variant (also known as c.4771G>T), located in coding exon 33 of the LAMA4 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 4771. The alanine at codon 1591 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. The evidence for this gene-disease relationship is limited; therefore, the clinical significance of this alteration is unclear. -
