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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Oct 17, 2024	This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 2003 of the COL7A1 protein (p.Gly2003Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (PMID: 8752681, 29963685). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17430). 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 expected to disrupt COL7A1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the triple helix domain of COL7A1. Glycine residues within the Gly-Xaa-Yaa repeats of the triple helix domain are required for the structure and stability of fibrillar collagens (PMID: 7695699, 8218237, 19344236), and variants at these glycine residues in COL7A1 are more frequently observed in individuals with disease than in the general population (PMID: 22058051). However, the clinical significance of this observation remains uncertain since only a limited number of affected individuals have been described to date. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The COL7A1 c.6007G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly2003Arg. This variant has been reported in several individuals with autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica (see for example, Christiano et al. 1996. PubMed ID: 8752681; Yenamandra et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29963685; Sawka and Funk. 2021. PubMed ID: 34338359). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. The amino acid p.Gly2003Arg resides in exon 73 and is within the triple helical domain of the COL7A1 protein (amino acids 1254-2783); and, glycine substitution variants in the triple helical domain (Gly-X-Y; especially in exons 73, 74, and 75) are predominant in autosomal dominant dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DDEB; Pfendner and Lucky. 2018. PubMed ID: 20301481). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

The observed missense c.6007G>A(p.Gly2003Arg) variant in COL7A1 gene has been reported previously in multiple individuals affected with Epidermolysis bullosa (Yenamandra VK, et al., 2018; Chen Z, et al., 2018; Jerábková B, et al., 2010). This variant has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. The p.Gly2003Arg variant is present with allele frequency of 0% in gnomAD Exomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic (multiple submissioons). Multiple lines of computational evidences (Polyphen - Probably damaging, SIFT - Damaging and MutationTaster - Disease causing) predict a damaging effect on protein structure and function for this variant. The reference amino acid change at this position on COL7A1 gene is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. The amino acid Gly at position 2003 is changed to a Arg changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
