Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PVS1PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000091.5(COL4A3):c.4441C>T(p.Arg1481*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000136 in 1,613,924 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 (★★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Autosomal recessive Alport syndrome Pathogenic:4
Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0103 - Dominant negative and loss of function are known mechanisms of disease in this gene and are associated with COL4A3-related nephropathy. Glycine changes that are part of a G-X-Y repeat in the triple helix of a collagen domain are known to have a dominant negative effect (PMID: 12028435). (I) 0108 - This gene is associated with both recessive (Alport syndrome 2 MIM#203780) and dominant disease (Alport syndrome 3 MIM#104200 and benign familial hematuria MIM#141200) (OMIM). (I) 0201 - Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein (premature termination codon is located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD <0.01 for a recessive condition (v3) (3 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0701 - Other loss of function variants comparable to the one identified in this case have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity (ClinVar). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. At least 9 patients have been reported to have this variant either as compound heterozygous or homozygous (ClinVar, PMIDs: 26940125; 29854973; 9195222). (SP) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -
Variant summary: COL4A3 c.4441C>T (p.Arg1481X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 249352 control chromosomes. c.4441C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Alport Syndrome, Autosomal Recessive (ie. Mochizuki_1994, Vega_2003). Five clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

not provided Pathogenic:2
Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29854973, 7987396, 14582039, 26940125, 31589614, 25525159, 35369551, 33772369, 7987301) -
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1481*) in the COL4A3 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in COL4A3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 8956999, 24854265, 26809805, 27281700). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Alport syndrome (PMID: 9195222, 29854973). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17484). 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. -
