Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5

The NM_001844.5(COL2A1):​c.1510G>T​(p.Gly504Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000707 in 1,413,436 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 Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G504S) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Genes affected

COL2A1 (HGNC:2200): (collagen type II alpha 1 chain) This gene encodes the alpha-1 chain of type II collagen, a fibrillar collagen found in cartilage and the vitreous humor of the eye. Mutations in this gene are associated with achondrogenesis, chondrodysplasia, early onset familial osteoarthritis, SED congenita, Langer-Saldino achondrogenesis, Kniest dysplasia, Stickler syndrome type I, and spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia Strudwick type. In addition, defects in processing chondrocalcin, a calcium binding protein that is the C-propeptide of this collagen molecule, are also associated with chondrodysplasia. There are two transcripts identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 12 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 3 benign, 5 uncertain in NM_001844.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr12-47986353-C-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 195742.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the COL2A1 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 376 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 125 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 3.2926 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 5.3726 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to vitreoretinopathy with phalangeal epiphyseal dysplasia, Stickler syndrome, type I, nonsyndromic ocular, Kniest dysplasia, Stickler syndrome type 1, platyspondylic dysplasia, Torrance type, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia with metatarsal shortening, spondyloperipheral dysplasia, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, Stanescu type, Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, achondrogenesis type II, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita, multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, Beighton type, mild spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia due to COL2A1 mutation with early-onset osteoarthritis, autosomal dominant rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, spondylometaphyseal dysplasia, spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia, Strudwick type, familial avascular necrosis of femoral head, dysspondyloenchondromatosis, spondylometaphyseal dysplasia, Schmidt type, hypochondrogenesis, otospondylomegaepiphyseal dysplasia, autosomal recessive, otospondylomegaepiphyseal dysplasia, avascular necrosis of femoral head, primary, 1.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.995
• PP5: Variant 12-47986353-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-47986353-C-A is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 17377.
