Genes affected

LAMA2 (HGNC:6482): (laminin subunit alpha 2) Laminin, an extracellular protein, is a major component of the basement membrane. It is thought to mediate the attachment, migration, and organization of cells into tissues during embryonic development by interacting with other extracellular matrix components. It is composed of three subunits, alpha, beta, and gamma, which are bound to each other by disulfide bonds into a cross-shaped molecule. This gene encodes the alpha 2 chain, which constitutes one of the subunits of laminin 2 (merosin) and laminin 4 (s-merosin). Mutations in this gene have been identified as the cause of congenital merosin-deficient muscular dystrophy. Two transcript variants encoding different proteins have been found for this gene.

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 6-129154598-GA-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr6-129154598-GA-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 552820.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr6-129154598-GA-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 552820). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with LAMA2-related conditions (PMID: 24225367). 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 sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly376Valfs*13) in the LAMA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in LAMA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18700894, 32904964). -
