Genes affected

COL3A1 (HGNC:2201): (collagen type III alpha 1 chain) This gene encodes the pro-alpha1 chains of type III collagen, a fibrillar collagen that is found in extensible connective tissues such as skin, lung, uterus, intestine and the vascular system, frequently in association with type I collagen. Mutations in this gene are associated with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV, and with aortic and arterial aneurysms. [provided by R. Dalgleish, Feb 2008]

Variant summary: COL3A1 c.3525+19delG alters a nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 5/5 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0099 in 228966 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.016 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 14 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 12800-folds over the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in COL3A1 causing Aortopathy phenotype (1.3e-06), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Non-Finnish European origin. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.3525+19delG in individuals affected with Aortopathy and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. A ClinVar submission (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Significance: Benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
