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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 19 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF. No scorers claiming Uncertain. Scorers claiming Benign: max_spliceai.
• PP5: Variant 6-129050088-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr6-129050088-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 557249.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr6-129050088-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln95*) 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 not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with congenital muscular dystrophy (PMID: 16216942, 24611677). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 557249). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The LAMA2 c.283C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Gln95*). This variant was reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous state in two individuals with congenital muscular dystrophy, type 1A (Table 2, Di Blasi et al. 2005. PubMed ID: 16216942; Table 2, Xiong et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24611677). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. Nonsense variants in LAMA2 are expected to be pathogenic. It is interpreted as likely pathogenic/pathogenic in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/557249/). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
