Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PVS1 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000094.4(COL7A1):c.409C>T(p.Arg137Ter) variant causes a stop gained change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000041 in 1,461,870 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R137R) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Genes affected

COL7A1 (HGNC:2214): (collagen type VII alpha 1 chain) This gene encodes the alpha chain of type VII collagen. The type VII collagen fibril, composed of three identical alpha collagen chains, is restricted to the basement zone beneath stratified squamous epithelia. It functions as an anchoring fibril between the external epithelia and the underlying stroma. Mutations in this gene are associated with all forms of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. In the absence of mutations, however, an acquired form of this disease can result from an autoimmune response made to type VII collagen. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PP5: Variant 3-48593554-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-48593554-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 449472.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr3-48593554-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Dec 19, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg137*) in the COL7A1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in COL7A1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16971478). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (PMID: 16189623). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 449472). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Aug 17, 2017	The R137X nonsense variant in the COL7A1 gene has been reported previously, in the compound heterozygous state with another COL7A1 nonsense variant, in a male infant with Hallopeau-Siemens autosomal recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (HS-RDEB) and absent collagen VII expression (Sawamura et al., 2005). The R137X variant was also reported in trans with a missense variant in a male patient with RDEB and milder clinical features (Yoshihara et al., 2014). This variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). The R137X is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. However, a therapeutic study of aminoglycoside treatment on cells transfected with R137X improved readthrough and resulted in some synthesis and secretion of a stable full-length collagen VII protein (Cogan et al., 2014). We interpret R137X as a pathogenic variant. -
