Genes affected
LAMA2 (HGNC:6482): (laminin subunit alpha 2) Laminin, an extracellular protein, is a major component of the basement membrane. It is thought to mediate the attachment, migration, and organization of cells into tissues during embryonic development by interacting with other extracellular matrix components. It is composed of three subunits, alpha, beta, and gamma, which are bound to each other by disulfide bonds into a cross-shaped molecule. This gene encodes the alpha 2 chain, which constitutes one of the subunits of laminin 2 (merosin) and laminin 4 (s-merosin). Mutations in this gene have been identified as the cause of congenital merosin-deficient muscular dystrophy. Two transcript variants encoding different proteins have been found for this gene.

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

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.002%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Stop-gained (nonsense): predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant. The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic without evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000287913 /PMID: 9674786). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The stop gained p.R1706* in LAMA2 (NM_000426.4) has been reported previously in affected patients (Geranmayeh F et al, Reddy HM et al). This has been submitted to ClinVar as Pathogenic. The p.R1706* variant is observed in 2/34,524 (0.0058%) alleles from individuals of Latino background in gnomAD Exomes and is novel (not in any individuals) in 1000 Genomes. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants have been reviously reported to be disease causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy Pathogenic:1
Nov 05, 2024
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1706*) in the LAMA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in LAMA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18700894, 32904964). This variant is present in population databases (rs758775001, gnomAD 0.006%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with muscular dystrophy (PMID: 9674786, 20207543, 27708273). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 287913). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
