Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000092.5(COL4A4):​c.3713C>A​(p.Ser1238Ter) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. 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.

Genes affected

COL4A4 (HGNC:2206): (collagen type IV alpha 4 chain) This gene encodes one of the six subunits of type IV collagen, the major structural component of basement membranes. This particular collagen IV subunit, however, is only found in a subset of basement membranes. Like the other members of the type IV collagen gene family, this gene is organized in a head-to-head conformation with another type IV collagen gene so that each gene pair shares a common promoter. Mutations in this gene are associated with type II autosomal recessive Alport syndrome (hereditary glomerulonephropathy) and with familial benign hematuria (thin basement membrane disease). Two transcripts, differing only in their transcription start sites, have been identified for this gene and, as is common for collagen genes, multiple polyadenylation sites are found in the 3' UTR.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 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
• PP5: Variant 2-227032049-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-227032049-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 17405.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr2-227032049-G-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17405). This variant is also known as a "substitution of A for C" that "replaces a serine codon with a stop codon". This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Alport syndrome (PMID: 7987396). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser1238*) in the COL4A4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in COL4A4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21196518, 24854265, 25307543). -
